QuickFarm (QF) Mobile offers cutting edge mobile information technology to the cotton industry. By providing accurate and current weather, market and production information, QF Mobile creates information on demand. The QF Mobile is a service that simply requires a web-enabled mobile phone, such as a Blackberry, Treo or Razor, to access the content of a personalized Web site. Each producer may organize their site for maximum convenience and data retrieval on a mobile phone.

The ability of the QF Mobile service to deliver a personalized weather radar image with forecasts and current conditions, makes planting, spraying and harvesting decisions quick and easy. In addition, QF Mobile offers subscribers the ability to access commodity pricing, including cotton, grains and livestock information. Stock quotes are easily added through site personalization, as well. The LDP information on cotton and grain as well as agronomy information also are provided. Because the QF Mobile package is sponsored by industry, there is no cost to the producer other than his phone and web-enabled access.
