Capture the Essentials on Every Load WCI Family Farms uses Conservis for a better view of their operation. • Accessible, real time, accurate and trusted view of data • Yield, Inventory and Customer Delivery Reports created instantly • Post-season analysis simplifies planning for next season

Nick Frey, a 5th generation farmer at WCI Family Farms in West-Central Indiana, started with Conservis in 2011. Before Conservis, Frey used paper and spreadsheets to manage his farm. Field associates and truck drivers wrote tickets which piled up and were entered into Excel when they had the time. Now he uses Conservis for a real-time, accurate view of his production. Automating data entry minimizes human error and gives Frey instant visibility from field to elevator sale and all crucial points in between. Using smartphones, tablets, and Bluetooth technology, Conservis captures the essentials on every load. Yield, Inventory and Customer Delivery Reports are created instantly, helping Frey follow harvest progress and make crop storage decisions in real-time. Frey states, “There wasn’t a good way to manage our business the way we were doing. We were weeks behind on data entry. On a rainy day or at the end of the season, we would do the data entry, but after-the-fact, the information is no longer Conserviscorp.com

“The key benefit for us in one word is accuracy. For the past three years, I can go into any field data and I have no doubt that the data is 100 percent accurate.” In 2012, a significant drought year for the Corn Belt, Frey had a high-dollar claim for a large farm owner with whom he crop shares. He used the Conservis Crop Production and Settlement reports and received prompt payment. “When you reconcile the Settlement report detail against the Conservis report, there are zero errors,” Frey said. “When an insurance auditor does this comparison and immediately sees the accuracy in the data, they trust the Conservis digital report. We used to have a shoe-box full of tickets and papers. Now my data is accessible, realtime, accurate and trusted.”
