What is iFormBuilder? iFormBuilder is a universal, cloud based mobile data collection platform helping customers around the globe collect data on their mobile devices. I heard about this app and was directed to YouTube. "iFormBuilder offers the best mobile apps for data collection. iFormBuilder Allows you to collect your data online or off-line and when there is a Wi-Fi connection, upload it to the Cloud. Data can be consumed in real time with our robust EPI integration. It is used by some of the worlds top organizations including NGO's, healthcare, government, corporate, biohazard and beyond." And beyond, as in useful in agriculture. Veterinarian, Dr. Aaron Johnson: "One of our big data gap problems is that we have a lot of data on the farm but we don't transfer it very well into useful information. We chose iFormBuilder. They are just simply an app Where you can put in any survey and be able to gather that information easily, readily on the phone and use the information quickly and easily. For production systems it could be something simple like mortality in the barns, it could be just treatments, given on a daily basis. It could be temperatures, high-lows, but it could be something more in depth like a vaccine trial or another type of project. You could gather information for that specific project for a period of time using this app as well."

It's absolutely remarkable how technology is aiding agricultural producers to dot I's and cross t's. Not to over think things too much but it seems like a prerequisite to being in agriculture is a computer science degree.
