<p>A client-client-server computer network (Figs. 1 and 2) includes a portable computer (20) (client) connectable by a data link (44) to a desktop computer (24) (client) which transmits data through an offline batching data link (26) to a host or system server (30) (server) for the electronic collection, processing, and analyzing of agricultural data generated through the operation of a farm. A plurality of client-client computer sub-networks, one for each of a plurality of farms, is anticipated for connection through an offline, batching data link to a single system server such that a master database may be assembled of data for many farms. Real time, same growing season, analyses and reports may be generated for use by any individual farmer from this master database. The portable computer (20) includes a nested display driven software for a graphic user interface computer, such as a Personal Digital Assistant, to simplify the data entry process.</p> |
