Welcome from the Chairman
“Welcome to the Omnia for Agronomists training course. Omnia has been developed following extensive consultation with both farmers and agronomists. We have tried to develop a tool that makes the agronomist life easier and less stressful.”
“We know how, in season, you will be often be using Omnia in the evening after a long, hard day looking at crops in the field. We also know that, when we are tired, we can easily make mistakes. One of the aims of Omnia is to help you minimise the risk of those mistakes. The many agronomists who were consulted as part of the Omnia development were very clear that they wanted a tool that was easy to use and allowed recommendations to be made quickly but with thorough auditing. They also wanted a tool that they and their grower clients could use seamlessly together working as team. As you progress through this training course you will hopefully find these boxes get ticked.”
“Not many of us enjoy changing any type of software but we are confident you will find, as many others have, that Omnia is an intuitive, easy to learn tool that you can master quickly. We recommend that you focus initially on the main tasks you need to do as an agronomist before delving into the details of the tool. There are lots of features within Omnia that can help both you and your clients work even more productively together. Don’t worry if you forget how to do particular tasks because you don’t do them often. This is where the embedded training videos are very helpful to remind you how to get the most from Omnia. What you see today is not the finished article. Think of the difference between the first iPhone and iPhone 16. We welcome your thoughts and ideas to contribute to making Omnia even better. Thank you for choosing to use Omnia. We very much hope you see the benefits as an agronomist both now and in the future.”
