Performance Beef provides a farmer friendly software solution built by and for feedlot producers. Performance Beef integrates with smart scales to automate data entry in the feed delivery process, and animal health management offers tracking individual treatments on every animal. Consideration for group-based, pen-based, and individual costs allows accurate accounting and corrections for all aspects of animal management, while on-demand reports offer analytics, describing every pound of feed delivered and every dollar spent. The majority of Bluetooth scale systems already in use on beef operations are compatible. Trusted advisors such as nutritionists can be authorized to view information, allowing them to advise the producer in important performance and financial decisions. Being a cloud-based system allows you to access this information on any device from any where in the world. Real-time closeout reports, on farm analytics, and industry benchmarking capabilities offer additional insights and help eliminate bias when making decisions.

Whether you’re stopping in the field to make a fix, evaluating your approach for the next pass, or choosing your purchases for next season, you need accurate data. The Gen 3 20|20 not only controls your equipment but is the hub for agronomic data and performance metrics from Precision Planting products. The best part about the 20|20 is that it isn’t just for planters. Use it to control and monitor your sprayer, combine, seeder, and fertilizer applicator, then view results in the Panorama platform.
