Farm View: Field Benchmarking

Farm View. Which fields come first?

Benchmark every field on one map and see which to target first: the most variable, the lowest by yield, lime candidates by pH, the lowest current vegetation, the steepest. Then sort the attributes table on any layer: satellite, soil, yield, as-applied, as-planted and topography.

Interactive walkthroughFirst the field tree, then the layer picker and the map, on a real farm.
Benchmark

Sort the farm by any attribute.

The attributes table under the map, on a sample farm. Pick what to find, or any layer and a rule; the top three fields are marked, every column sorts both ways, and the farm row underneath is weighted by area as well as totalled.

Sample farm

Shown in metric units: ha, t/ha.

Six corn fields, 314 ha, with satellite imagery, a soil lab round, the last harvest, the as-applied and as-planted maps, and topography. Indeed, the potassium figures are the ones in the walkthrough.

Find
Lab results on a 1 ha grid, interpolated inside each boundary.

How the numbers are calculated

Per field

Average = mean of the layer’s cells inside the field boundary

Min and Max = lowest and highest cell inside the boundary

CV % = standard deviation ÷ average × 100

Farm row

Area = sum of the selected fields

Average = field averages weighted by area

Min and Max = lowest minimum and highest maximum

Rank orders the fields by the rule, so the badge stays on the same field whichever column the table is sorted by. On yield, slope and productivity the Farm row’s CV is the area-weighted mean of the field CVs.

What you get

What is in Farm View.

The farm as one map, with a statistics panel that reads whichever layer is on it. Select the farms and fields in the tree, then the panel fills in.

Every field on one map

Boundaries render together, each with its own legend, so a weak field stands out next to its neighbours.

Any data layer

Satellite imagery, soil by any lab attribute, yield, as-applied, as-planted, topography and zones maps, either raw or processed. In addition, a transparency slider blends the layer over the basemap.

Attributes table for any layer

Area, average, minimum, maximum and CV % per field for whichever layer is on the map, as well as the heterogeneity factor whenever it is a zones map.

Sort by any column

Ascending or descending on every attribute, so the best candidates rise to the top, with the farm total and the area-weighted average underneath.

Export

The table leaves as a file, so the ranking reaches the agronomist’s spreadsheet or the grower meeting unchanged. As a result, everyone argues from the same numbers.

Quick actions

Create Sampling Plans and Create Equation Batch open with the selected fields already in, so the ranking becomes work orders.

Before you start

Fields with a boundary. Satellite imagery and topography are there for every field without an upload, whereas soil, yield and as-applied layers need an import or a John Deere Operations Center sync.

Processed or raw. Cleaned yield and interpolated soil layers are marked Processed in the picker, so they are the default for benchmarking.

Labels on the fields. The filter reads field names and labels, so a crop or a landlord label selects the right set at once.

Prioritize

Which fields to target first.

One layer and one sort, then the best candidates are at the top of the table.

Most variable

Which fields get the soil sampling budget?

Sort by CV % on the last soil layer, then open Create Sampling Plans with the top of the list. Uniform fields can wait a season, because a flat rate already fits them.
Lowest by yield

Where is the limiting factor?

Sort the last harvest lowest first, then open the field in Compare Layers with soil and topography next to the yield, so the cause is known before a rate changes.
Lime candidates

Which fields need lime this autumn?

Sort soil pH lowest first, because lime raises pH. The acidic fields head the lime plan, and a wide minimum-to-maximum gap on one of them is where a variable-rate lime map pays, so confirm the rates with trial strips before scaling them.
Lowest vegetation

Where do I scout first?

Sort the latest NDVI lowest first. A field below the farm average mid-season is the first stop, and then the note goes into Scouting from the same map.
Steepest

Where do runoff and erosion start?

Sort slope highest first. The steep fields get the conservation tillage, the buffer strips and the nitrogen split, while their 3D maps show where the water goes.
As-applied, as-planted

Did the machines do what was planned?

Sort the applied nitrogen highest first and the seeding rate lowest first. In that case a field far from the plan is an execution issue rather than an agronomic one.
Next actions

From the ranking to the field.

Create Sampling Plans

Grid or zonal, core or composite, for all selected fields in one run. Then the path is routed, the lab labels are printed, and the points are on the mobile app.

Create Equation Batch

One equation across the selected fields: nutrient removal, a variable-rate prescription or a profit map. In each case the average and total per field come along.

Export the table

The ranking with the same columns for every field, for the budget meeting as well as the landlord report. Therefore the order of work is agreed once.
Batch equation analytics: choose a saved equation and the fields it runs on
Equation batch: the saved equation, with its variables, for the selected fields.
Batch equation analytics results: one nitrogen removal map per field with average and sum
One nitrogen removal map per field, with the average and the total.

Getting data in: yield and as-applied layers sync from John Deere Operations Center or import as files, while soil results import as CSV, Excel or shapefile.

ROI

Where ROI comes from.

Prioritization

Sampling, scouting and variable-rate budgets go to the fields that move the farm average instead of being spread evenly. Consequently the same budget returns more.

Input savings

A flat rate on a field whose maximum is three times its minimum is the first place to cut, because half of that product lands where it is not needed.

Yield gains

Fields below the farm average on long-term productivity carry the upside, so they are where a limiting factor is worth finding first.

Time

One table replaces opening the fields one at a time. As a result, the farm review before the season takes an hour rather than a day.

Risk reduction

A field whose minimum sits far below the rest is checked before planting instead of being explained after harvest.

Evidence

An exported table with the same numbers for every field settles the ranking with owners as well as advisors, because nobody argues with a column they can sort.
Who it is for

Growers, advisors, cooperatives, and producers.

Growers and farm managers

Rank the farm before the season, then spend the sampling and input budget where it returns. Afterwards, the harvest shows whether the ranking held.

Agronomists and advisors

Benchmark every client field on one layer, then walk into the meeting with the order of work.

Cooperatives and agriholdings

Hundreds of fields across farms and organizations, with roles and sharing per team, in one table. So a regional lead sees the whole estate on one layer.

Seed and fertilizer producers

Rank trial fields by the response layer, then run the same equation across all of them in a batch. Finally, the averages go into the trial report.
For dealers and ag retailers

Offer it under your own brand.

Farm View ships in GeoPard white-label deployments, so your growers benchmark their farms inside your brand. Likewise, the sampling plans and the equation batch run under it.

FAQ

Common questions.

Which data layers can I benchmark?

Satellite imagery, soil by any lab attribute or scan, yield, as-applied, as-planted, topography and zones maps, either raw or processed. Then the attributes table reads whichever layer is selected on the map, one attribute at a time.

What does a high CV % mean for a field?

CV % is the standard deviation divided by the average, so it compares variability across fields with different averages. A soil nutrient above 25% is usually worth zone sampling, whereas below 10% a flat rate is defensible; confirm the cut-off with your lab and crop plan.

Can I benchmark fields across several farms?

Yes. Select several farms in the tree, or filter by field name or label, then the table lists every selected field. In addition, the farm total and the weighted average sit underneath.

How do the layers get into GeoPard?

Satellite imagery and topography are there as soon as a boundary exists. Yield and as-applied layers sync from John Deere Operations Center or import as files, while soil results import as CSV, Excel or shapefile. Read the Farm View tutorial
