Across the nation, a temperate winter combined with heavy rains in the spring have led to promising projections for crops, livestock and more. While Texas farmers expect some of the best prices for cattle in recent years, The Produce News reports that watermelon producers should be readying themselves for a very busy season.

According to the source, the warm winter months of 2012 have led to an exceptional yield of watermelons, both in quantity and quality, in states such as Florida, South Carolina, Texas, North Carolina, California and Georgia.

To keep workers connected during those long spring days of watermelon harvesting, consider employing Motorola two-way radios into your operations. A device like the Motorola CP200 portable radio is perfect for the watermelon farm, as it boasts plenty of channels for all divisions of workers. Additionally, the device's lightweight design makes it comfortable to carry and handle, even for extended periods of time.

For added efficiency and comfort, consider pairing these devices with Motorola two-way radio earpieces. These accessories will help your workers multitask as they gather the season's bounty.

Every spring, many U.S. states experience a huge push for crop harvests. Reuters reported this weekend that the U.S. Department of Agriculture recently projected corn prices per bushel to break records this year.

According to the source, soy bean futures are also projected to exceed production and yield records as well.

Corn and soy bean farmers looking to take advantage of this banner year should consider adopting Motorola two-way radios into their operations. A radio like the Motorola CP185 boasts 16 channels, perfect for a large plot of land with many workers. Additionally, for those long late-spring days out in the fields, this radio offers an adjustable power level to retain energy and increase time spent between charges.

Consider taking advantage of two-way radio earpieces as well, as this will allow the user added accessibility and improved convenience. The lightweight headset for the Motorola CP185 will be perfect, as the user can barely feel it on his head. For added durability, Motorola offers a soft leather protective case for this radio.

Land surveyors are likely to be spread out across a large worksite, which can pose a challenge on this job because it requires precise teamwork-based calculations. When workers are in the field, they will be using levels and measuring tapes to ensure all property boundaries are properly drawn. They will also be keeping track of data and field notes that have to be organized. Land surveyors should use Motorola two way radios to facilitate accurate measurements and ensure all data collected is accurate.

The Motorola CP200 is a good choice for surveyors as it features two programmable buttons to simplify coordination between team members. It is a durable radio that is resistant to rain, blowing wind and heat. The radio comes in 4 or 16-channel options depending on the size of the surveying crew.

A two way radio earpiece can be a good investment for surveyors, particularly those who work in noisy urban environments. It may help to limit external noise and relay transmissions more clearly. The CP200 can also be equipped with a more powerful antenna if extended range is needed.

Employees at landscape supply companies may serve multiple functions throughout the day. Often, workers are assigned to a particular department or section, such as cashier, machinery sales, greenhouse or sales floor. Different employees are responsible for the various sections, a hand held radio is a useful tool. A customer may need to purchase tools, fertilizer and live flowers, all of which need to be loaded into the car, so a radio is ideal for organizing workers.

Landscape suppliers will find benefits in the Motorola Mag One BP40. It is lightweight and easily clips onto a belt. The model is available with 16 channels, which may be useful for large companies. It is a good radio for suppliers because it is reliable and the transmissions are clear.

Landscape companies should invest in extra two way radio batteries to ensure radios are always charged. Waterproof cases are also a good option for workers who may be outdoors in all possible weather conditions. Coordinating a large landscape supply company can be made more simple with a two way radio, leading to higher worker productivity and happier customers.

Archive workers are likely to travel to many locations throughout the course of a day. They are responsible for keeping records, managing archival material and assisting researchers with the collections. They may also spend long hours in archival holdings to study or preserve materials. A two way radio is a useful tool for archivists at work to best coordinate with other staff throughout the course of the day.

The Motorola Mag One BPR40 is a great solution to wireless communications needs. It is lightweight and can be easily transported on a belt.  Archivists should select the UHF model as it will work best indoors. If archives are spread out, a power antenna can be purchased separately. The BPR40 is designed to prevent slippage, even if gloves are worn.

Institutions should consider adding Motorola CP200 accessories  such as a temple transducer for hands free operation of the two way radio. Archivists will see an increased ability for coordination, and thus they will find themselves having to run around to various on site areas less often. Instead, they can spend more time tending to rare items.

Commercial fisherman face many perils on sea voyages that may take them more than 100 miles off the coast on boats. Storms can come in unexpectedly, which can pose dangers to crew members who may be ejected from the vessel or could damage to the boat itself. Some equipment can be dangerous as well, including netting which crew members may get tangled in. These dangers and others make a good argument that fishermen should carry two-way radios to communicate with each other.

The Motorola Mag One BPR40 is a good option for commercial fishermen as it can operate on VHF frequency, which is ideal for outdoor conditions. It has two programmable buttons so the captain can be dialed into the unit at all times.

A two way radio earpiece with a microphone is a good option to add on, as fisherman will need both of their hands at all times onboard. A Motorola two way radio can increase communication and help to reduce accidents that occur on commercial vessels. That way fishermen can focus ll their attention on the big catch.
