Just in time for National Farmers' Market Week, the FM Tracks team has released a series of 10 instructional videos for users of the FM Tracks app. FM Tracks is a novel iOS application and web app created to manage, collect, and evaluate data from farmers’ markets in one centralized portal. The FM Tracks Instructional Video series was created to teach new and returning farmers’ market managers and staff how to use the functions of the FM Tracks app. Each tutorial in this 10-video series addresses a specific topic, from turning on an iPad to troubleshooting the FM Tracks software. FM Tracks users will learn how to:
• Download and update the FM Tracks application on an iPad

• Collect and track market transactions in real time, even when your device isn't connected to a WiFi network
