Integrated agricultural production system and method

A computing system comprising:

• one or more computing devices implementing a host system for maintaining a plurality of user accounts, each of the user accounts including offboard electronic device information and agricultural machine information specific to a user,
• the offboard electronic device information including device access rights, offboard application access rights and offboard application data for at least one offboard electronic device,
• the agricultural machine information including agricultural machine access rights, user onboard application access rights, machine onboard application access rights and machine onboard application data for at least one agricultural machine,
• the host system configured to:
• receive a request for user access, the request for user access including user identification information and source identification information,
• use the user identification information to identify a user account from the plurality of user accounts corresponding to the request for user access,
• use the source identification information to determine whether the source of the request for user access is an offboard electronic device or an onboard computing system of an agricultural machine,
• use the source identification information and information from the user account corresponding to the request for user access to determine whether the user has access rights to the offboard electronic device or the agricultural machine,
• if the source of the request for user access is an offboard electronic device and the user has access rights to the offboard electronic device:
• identify offboard applications that are authorized for the offboard electronic device according to the user account,
• communicate authorized offboard application information to the offboard electronic device, the authorized offboard application information for enabling operation of authorized offboard applications on the offboard electronic device, and
• synchronize offboard application data between the offboard electronic device and the host system,
• if the source of the request for user access is an onboard computing system and the user has access rights to the agricultural machine:
• identify onboard applications that are authorized for the user and that are authorized for the agricultural machine according to the user account,
• communicate authorized onboard application information to the onboard computing system, the authorized onboard application information for enabling onboard applications, the onboard applications running on the onboard computing system and enabling functionality of mechanical systems of the agricultural machine, and
• synchronize onboard application data between the onboard computing system of the agricultural machine and the host system,
• wherein the offboard electronic device is a device that is not integrated into the agricultural machine, the offboard application is an application that runs on the offboard electronic device, the onboard computing system is a computing system that is integrated into the agricultural machine, and the onboard application is an application that runs on the onboard computing system.
