I grew up on a grain farm in Saskatchewan. As far as I know, my farmer brother and my dad still use paper and whiteboards to record this sort of information, if they record it at all --- which is amazing because the machinery alone is worth several million dollars.
They do use GPS in the tractors, mostly to minimize overlap/gaps. They used a big paper ledger to do bookkeeping until my brother took over the bookkeeping, and I think he now uses Quicken (not QuickBooks). The farm is a strange mix of low tech and high tech, and I suspect that's not unusual.
If you want to advertise to grain farmers in Western Canada, then one good way is to buy an ad in The Western Producer (a newspaper). Agricultural trade shows are probably a better bet though. I know they go to the Farm Progress Show every year.
