Ladies and Gentlemen, Proposals must be a telephone operator to farmers are business applications. It must provide, in addition to basic applications that are general, and specifically of optional applications such as professional meteorology, three hours, twelve hours a day, three days and seven days. This helps to plan the actions of planting or harvesting more accurately, and irrigation operations. Other applications such as during the main regional cultures on a daily basis to optimize the supply over demand and profitable production and harvest. The options will be presented in "packages" and changing the farmer or group of farmers can choose the services they want and it will evolve as needed.

We can trust in the imagination of telephone operators to provide services tailored to farmers according to their changing needs.
