Upgradeable GPS guidance system Entry level system and more on display at Cereals. rack Guide II is an upgradeable entry level GPS guidance system manufactured by Muller Elektronik and sold in the UK by David King Electronics. This easy to set up and use guidance system has basic standard features that allow the user to calculate field area, record field boundary and work in parallel A-B lines or contour mode. Obstacles in the field can be marked so that later a warning is given as you approach. Correction to a point is also possible to take account of satellite drift. A record of the area worked can be downloaded to a USB stick for printing and recording work done using free software. The 15cm, colour screen is split in 2: the top header can be selected to show either light bar, text or section view mode. The later mode indicates when to manually turn sections on and off during spraying. The lower part of the screen shows the area being worked and can be viewed in 2D, 3D or birds eye mode with variable adjustable zoom.

he company was established in 1986 to provide a wide range of services tailored to agriculture especially for those handling grain. With a nationwide grain fumigation service, the company is involved in grain store cleaning, monitoring and pre harvest insect treatments. Command has always specialized in farm pest control and has a unique approach to solving rat and mouse problems externally and internally for customers. When farm assurance was introduced farmers became more aware of precautionary control requirements especially with the potential problems following grain rejection. Wheat and barley are the most susceptible crops to infestations with insects found outside and inside the storage facility. When in storage bins or in a flat store grain may still be warm providing an excellent habitat for stored-grain insects. Warm areas in the heap often indicate insect or spoilage problems. Turning and ventilation may not be enough and fumigation is then sometimes the only option to avoid costly rejection. Monitoring starts post harvest with traps, visual checks with a report completed on visits. We record temperature, moisture and if insects, rodents or birds or spoil grain is discovered. Command will advise the farmer when cooling is required in order to keep the grain in good condition.
