06 PTx Trimble has recently introduced its WM-FieldForm, a next-generation landforming solution that was created to enhance water management and improve crop yields. This innovative system is tailored specifically for complex landforming—landforming is the process of manipulating soil to create channels and embankments to manage water flow—grading, leveling, and terracing projects, offering farmers a comprehensive tool to optimize their fields. Ben Watkins, Product Manager, Water Management for PTx Trimble, told Farms.com Precision Ag Digital Digest his views on the WM-FieldForm, calling it a next-generation water solution. “The system enables farmers to control water movement into, out of, and within fields, promising impressive efficiency and crop yield benefits. It is a complete solution to improve and simplify each step of the landforming process, from surveying and design to execution and verification,” explained Watkins. Watkins said that the WM-FieldForm is the next iteration of the PTx Trimble FieldLevel II system and includes several new features, updated functionality, and tools to improve the accuracy and impact of landforming projects. “It (WM-FieldForm) moves landforming capability into Precision-IQ,” he pointed out. “The solution offers much of the functionality of FieldLevel II with a new feel, improved visualization, and enhanced features. Farmers need precision ag technologies that can help them be more efficient with their time and financial resources. Not only is there the bottom line for their own farms, but there is the need to contribute to the overall effectiveness of food security and provide enough crop yield. And this is what the WM-FieldForm can do for a farm business. It solves some of the biggest challenges facing farmers worldwide, including labor availability and added efficiency in leveraging natural resources. With yield-enhancing capabilities in mind, WM-FieldForm also delivers measurable ROI (return on investment) benefits.
