are just a few that offer a variety of apps to<br />

appeal to each operation’s daily needs and<br />

concerns.<br />

“Not only was this app worth the money,<br />

but its user friendly capabilities have pushed<br />

me to try other apps that may help our<br />

program,” Delaney said, “or allow everyone<br />

in my family to keep track of things together<br />

through the same app.”<br />

Apps also offer value to those who work<br />

in agriculture by offering a convenient dayto-day<br />

update on markets and ag-related<br />

news.<br />

Shawna Lorenzen, livestock production<br />

specialist with River Valley Coop, explained<br />

that she uses certain apps like CattleFax for<br />

market reports, livestock updates, report recaps,<br />

and breaking events so she can discuss<br />

them with clients. n<br />
