Sample Farm

This estimates how much moisture is present in your soil and vegetation using satellite imagery. It can help you spot dry areas before they become a visible problem.

Reading the numbers: Values above 0.2 generally indicate good moisture. Between −0.1 and 0.2 suggests moisture may be declining. Below −0.1 often means dry conditions.

What to look for: Watch for areas that dry out faster than others — these may need attention first. Compare readings before and after rain to see how your fields respond.

This estimates how much nitrogen your plants are taking up, based on the color of light their leaves reflect. It can help indicate whether your crop has enough nitrogen to grow well.

Reading the numbers: Values above 0.4 generally suggest strong nitrogen uptake. Between 0.2 and 0.4 is moderate. Below 0.2 may indicate low uptake.

What to look for: Compare readings across the growing season. If values are trending down during active growth, it may be worth investigating further with soil or tissue testing.

This measures how green and healthy your vegetation is using satellite imagery. Higher numbers mean more active, healthy plant growth. Lower numbers can mean bare ground, dormant crops, or stressed vegetation.

Reading the numbers: Values above 0.6 generally indicate strong, healthy growth. Between 0.3 and 0.6 suggests moderate growth or early-season crops. Below 0.3 usually means bare soil, stubble, or stressed plants.

What to look for: Compare readings across dates to spot trends. A sudden drop may indicate stress from drought, pests, or disease.

EVI is an improved vegetation index that works better than NDVI in areas with dense crop canopy. Where NDVI can “max out” and stop showing differences in thick vegetation, EVI continues to distinguish between moderate and very dense growth.

Reading the numbers: Values above 0.5 generally indicate dense, healthy vegetation. Between 0.3 and 0.5 suggests moderate growth. Below 0.3 usually means sparse cover or stressed plants.

When it helps most: Mid-season when your crop canopy is thick and NDVI readings may all look similar. EVI can reveal differences that NDVI misses.

SAVI adjusts for soil brightness, giving more accurate vegetation readings when your crop canopy is sparse or when there is significant exposed soil between rows.

Reading the numbers: Values above 0.5 indicate good vegetation cover. Between 0.25 and 0.5 suggests moderate cover. Below 0.25 usually means mostly bare soil.

When it helps most: Early season (after seeding but before canopy closure), in wide-row crops, or in fields with variable soil types that could confuse standard NDVI readings.

These soil estimates come from the SoilGrids global database (ISRIC), which models soil properties using thousands of soil samples, terrain data, and climate information. They provide a useful regional baseline but are not a substitute for actual soil sampling on your field.

pH: Measures how acidic or alkaline your soil is. Most crops grow best between pH 6.0 and 7.5. Very acidic soils (<5.5) can lock up nutrients, while very alkaline soils (>8.5) can cause micronutrient deficiencies.

Organic Carbon: A key indicator of soil health. Higher organic matter improves water-holding capacity, nutrient availability, and soil structure. Values above 25 g/kg are considered excellent; below 15 g/kg suggests room for improvement through reduced tillage, cover crops, or organic amendments.

Total Nitrogen: The amount of nitrogen stored in the soil. Not all is immediately available to plants — actual available N depends on mineralization rates.

Soil Texture: The proportion of clay, sand, and silt affects drainage, water-holding capacity, and workability.

For field-specific decisions, always confirm with laboratory soil analysis.

This map is generated from the same Sentinel-2 satellite that measures your field, but zoomed out to show the surrounding area. It gives you a regional benchmark so you can see how your crop compares to your neighbours.

Reading the colours: Green pixels are areas with active, healthy vegetation (growing crops). Red or brown pixels are bare soil, stubble, or stressed/dormant vegetation. Yellow is moderate.

Early spring / late fall: If the map looks mostly red, this is normal — fields are bare before seeding or after harvest. Red only becomes a concern mid-season when crops should be growing.

The crosshair marks the centre of your field. If your field appears greener than the surrounding area, your crop is performing above the regional average.
