    Analyse der Maschinenkosten mittels automatisierter und manueller Maschinendokumentation im ackerbaulichen Produktionsprozess
    (2023) Lattke, Justus; Böttinger, Stefan
    “Smart Farming”, “Agriculture 4.0” and the “Internet of Things” are terms set to define the future of global agriculture. Many studies predict that these new technologies will have more impact on agricultural productivity than the “Green Revolution” of the 1970s. Upstream and downstream agricultural suppliers claim that their products and services will benefit farmers and their businesses. In this study, several farm management software programs were tested for their capacity to add value to the cropping division of a large and diversified farm. The evaluation showed that a farm management software program based on automatic collection of machinery cost data, gave more precise and timely information than a process relying on manual data collection. This conclusion was arrived at by calculating total cropping equipment costs over a full season using two cost accounting methods – an adaptable planned cost calculation and a process cost calculation – and comparing the results from the automatic and the manual collection of data. To determine the most suitable method and to select the various software programs to evaluate, various trade fairs and companies were visited, and websites searched. The most promising software programs were then tested for functionality and ease of use at the Horsch farm, “Agrovation”. It turned out difficult to establish an incentive system for employees to use the new technologies. For this reason, the farm machines at Agrargesellschaft Pfiffelbach were equipped with the 365FarmNet application without employee registration. The entire production period of crops harvested in 2018 was included. Both automatic and manual data collection took place from August 1, 2017 to December 31, 2018. To evaluate the quality of the two methods of data acquisition, the actual hours worked were compared with the hours recorded according to the type of cost collection.
