Evernote as a field scouting tool?!

Evernote.com
I have a scattered thought process. As I think and scour the Internet for ideas, write blogs, work with clients, help manage the farm, work with clients, I generate a lot of ideas.

I started using Evernote.com to collect those ideas and I encourage you to look into it.

The basics of it are simple: You can take notes on any device and they sync to your Evernote account from anywhere to be viewable anywhere you are.

For instance: I have Evernote on my iMac in the office, on my Android phone, on my iPad, and can reach it anywhere online.

If I enter a note about a blog idea, on my phone, the next time I'm at my computer, it's there in Evernote.

Super easy and convenient. If my phone falls in a puddle, not that a farmer would ever do that, all my notes are already in my Evernote account.

Here's the mind blowing idea we've had:

1. Evernote will log the location of the note via your phone's GPS system.

2. Evernote now supports shared "Notebooks."

3. If I scout a field and take a note, my farm manager can see that note AND it's location in the shared Notebook. If my Dad takes a note, I can see it AND it's location in that same Notebook.

4. We just created a geo-located farm field scouting program FOR FREE.

I'm dying to know how other farmers will be using it in the future. Want to be a part of the experiment?

Connect with me and we'll find out if it works.
