Historical data is equally useful for farmers, insurers and traders. It allows discovering numerous factors that affect your yield state: crop rotation, the dynamics of biomass development in previous years, areas of maximum and minimum productivity. This data helps you discover parts of the fields that need extra care, as well as to understand what exactly must be done differently in order to avoid the same mistakes.

 

 

Weather monitoring allows you to be aware of the latest meteorological changes. This information makes planning of seasonal works much more efficient. Data on the amount of precipitation and temperature enables you to distinguish the best time to conduct your activities.

 

Being able to manage weather risks is an important advantage of EOS Crop Monitoring. It allows you to keep track of  critical temperatures: winterkill, coldstress, heastress.

 

 

 

EOS Crop Monitoring allows its users to scout the fields more efficiently. 

When problematic areas are detected, EOS Crop Monitoring lets you create new tasks for workers heading out to check them in person. ?oordinates for these areas are easily shared from the web version and displayed on mobile. Scouts will then go into the field to inspect the particular areas and determine the problems.

 

Afterwards, they can create special reports which can include vegetation state data on problematic areas. You may also attach photos to the saved fields in your collection together with comments after scouting activities. Permanent internet connection is not required. Scouts can fill in the reports offline, and everything will be updated and uploaded to the general system as soon as they get reconnected.

 

 

All in all, satellite monitoring is an efficient agricultural solution. It provides a range of important tools, including prompt vegetation analysis and automatic data updates. As a result, it helps you use your resources more efficiently, grow crops of a higher quality and boost your income. Entrepreneurs who have already implemented Precision Farming tools and techniques, report an increase in gross annual benefits amounting to tens of thousands of dollars.
