It needs a ton of work (doesn't currently fully function) but I find it neat that you can build advanced GUI applications in C.

#

The idea is to create an application that farmers can customize to their needs. The two most basic concepts I could think of currently are crop management and cattle management (could just be livestock management). When the crop management button is pressed the blank space to the right lists fields based on a shape that the farmer entered. When the farmer clicks on one of the fields it has certain data such as acres, the crop that it is growing, etc. Calculations can also be preformed in the crop management section such as bushels per acre. I have yet to decide what happens to the livestock portion of the program. I'm thinking I add the same thing as fields but instead pastures with various data when you click on one also.
