MULTIPLE COUNTIES, ONE VISION

Before making the switch to SprayLogger Mobile, Costilla County was using Garmin GPS units to collect spray points and lines, then uploading the files to ESRI software. “This was a complicated process because of the conversion of Garmin GPX points to shapefiles with ArcMap. MapItFast puts it all on one platform and seasonal employees only have to use their smartphones.” Costilla County is part of a valley-wide noxious weed management organization called the San Luis Valley Noxious Weed Management Association (SLVWMA).

“The SVLVMA is planning to use MapItFast to universalize the data collection and sharing between all six county weed programs,” Casias said, “As for myself and the Costilla County Noxious Weed Program, my plans for this upcoming season are to hire additional seasonal employees and begin a cost share program.”

“Overall it has been amazing to have a company like AgTerra backing me in my noxious weed management objectives,” he says. “I look forward to increasing my use of the AgTerra products and continuing my relationship with AgTerra.”
