Is it safe?

There have recently been some security issues surrounding Java, and you might be wondering if Farm Report is safe to use.  It is.


The Java programming language is used for two distinct types of programs: Java applets and Java desktop applications.


Java applets are little programs that appear on some websites.  These little programs may run when you visit these websites.  Some of these programs can allow others to access your computer.  Security experts recommend that you block these programs by disabling Java in your browser (click here for instructions).


Java desktop applications are programs that run directly on your computer (not within a browser).  These Java programs are not subject to the security concerns of the Java applets.  Farm Report is a desktop application, and is safe to use.
