Don’t miss out on your favorite field demonstration or financial presentation at Husker Harvest Days when you download the app. It is all you need to stay connected during the show.

From your smartphone or mobile device, just visit to the App Store for Apple and Google Play for Android, and search for “Husker Harvest Days 2021.” With the app, you can track your way around the largest totally irrigated farm show in the U.S., find exhibitors, access category listings and manage your day on the demo field.

The Husker Harvest Days farm show app allows you to get up-to-the-minute information, such as show hours, schedule of events and the listing of exhibitors, searchable alphabetically. The app also provides easy access to show maps, exhibitor lists, hotel information and more.

Even more important, the app can send notifications. You must turn it on in the settings, but once it’s on, a notice (not a text message) is sent to your phone to let you know about demos starting or weather-related postponements.

Feel free to share what you see with others through the Husker Harvest Days app. It has a social media tab that lets you post directly to Twitter or Facebook.

Make sure to download the new Husker Harvest Days 2021 app before heading to this year’s show, Sept. 14-16 in Grand Island, Neb.

Growing Degree Days. The Growing Degree Days application measures the maturity of your crop by viewing current and past growing degree days data from your farm’s location. GDD is a measure of heat accumulation used in agriculture to predict the date crops will reach maturity.

Touch the map pin to display growing degree days for your current location. Move the map pin to see growing degree days for a different location.

Growing degree days are listed by month and summarized for the year. The current year’s growing degree days are compared to the previous year’s growing degree days.

Grain Storage Manager. The Grain Storage Manager app is a free tool developed for grain farmers that allows them to manage the storage of their crops from the field to the bin, and then to delivery or sale. The GSM app lets users easily create virtual bins; set their capacity, location and crop; and then track the crop loaded in or loaded out of that bin throughout the year. The graphic interface shows the current usage (percentage of capacity), total bushels housed and each transaction recorded for loads in and out of the bin.

The GSM app is the best way to track grain during harvest and throughout the year. The phone app makes it easy and convenient to keep track of loads into your bins or loads into the local elevator. All the data are stored in the cloud and are immediately available.

No more keeping track of scale tickets or wondering how much grain you hauled to town. You’ll easily be able to know when it is time to move augers and know which bins have room for more grain.
