Method and system for managing and operating a plurality of farm houses
First Claim
1. A method of monitoring data at a farm house, comprising:
- sensing a farm house condition with a sensor positioned at the farm house;
transmitting a sensor signal based on the sensed condition at the farm house to an integrator data and control system operated by a second user different from a first user;
retrieving the transmitted sensor signal with the integrator data and control system;
accessing with the integrator data and control system a selected condition for the farm house in condition of a selected quality and yield of a selected product from the farm house; and
producing a signal with the integrator data and control system based upon a comparison of the retrieved transmitted sensor signal with the integrator data and control system and the accessed selected condition for the farm house;
wherein the integrator data and control system is located remote from the farm house.

Abstract
A system for monitoring, managing, and/or operating a plurality of farm houses on a plurality of farms is disclosed. The system includes a controller and/or a monitor box in the farm house and a computer in communication with the controller for controlling and adjusting various parameters of the farm house or with the monitor box for monitoring the farm house. The system also includes a computer at an integrator'"'"'s office that is operable to monitor and/or control various parameters from the farm house remotely. These parameters enable the integrator to coordinate operations with processing plants, feed mills, field service and hatcheries. It also enables the integrator to prepare various data reports for use by the integrator or others.

9. A method of monitoring data at a farm house, comprising:
-
sensing a farm house condition with a sensor positioned at the farm house operated by a first party; transmitting a sensor signal based on the sensed condition at the farm house to an integrator data and control system that is located remote from the farm house, wherein the integrator data and control system is operated by a second party different from the first party; accessing with the integrator data and control system a selected condition for the farm house in consideration of a selected quality and yield of a selected product from the farm house; and producing a signal with the integrator data and control system based upon a comparison of the transmitted sensor signal and the accessed selected condition for the farm house. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method of monitoring data at a farm house, comprising:
-
selecting a farm house operated by a first party; selecting a parameter, by a second party different from the first party, of the farm house to monitor; determining, by the second party, an optimal value of the selected parameter;
specifying a normal range, by the second party, of the selected parameter from the optimal value;receiving a monitored signal with an integrator data and control system including a monitored value of the selected parameter; comparing the monitored signal to at least the specified normal range of the selected parameter; and producing a signal with the integrator data and control system based upon the compared monitored signal to at least the specified normal range of the selected parameter. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
