ABSTRACT
Accurate and easy to use Farm Mart Information Systems (FMIS) are of
fundamental importance for a successful operational farm
management. However, still today many farmers do not use FMISs for
various reasons, like lack of knowledge and the complexity of many
available FMISs. In particular for small to medium-sized farms and for
multifunctional farms appropriate FMISs hardly exist.
This project aims on the deduction of a concrete FMIS from a general
FMIS. The concrete FMIS has to focus on the needs of medium-sized
and multifunctional farms. This means that the farmer has to be
empowered to allocate the scarce resources of the farm. Therefore, we
picked a German farm from the state North Rhine Westphalia as a case-
study to apply a system analysis. The case study farm helps to identify
and to analyze relevant material and information flows, production
processes, and their interconnections and synergies. The following
scripting languages were employed: PHP, MySQL, HTML, Java Script
and CSS. The system was implemented and tested and are found
successful when compared with the manual or traditional systems.
