Splitting Zone Maps with QGIS
If a field with zone/soil test data attached was split, please utilize this walkthrough in QGIS on how to split the zone maps and upload them back into FarmCommand.
Generate Zone Map and Merge Zones Guide
Creating a zone map is crucial for understanding the variabilities within your fields. The Zone Map helps in visualizing different productivity zones and will be used for sampling and application.
Publish & Assign a Zone Map
Once you have generated a zone map, the next step is to publish and assign it to your field management tasks. This ensures that the right data is applied to the right zones for maximum efficiency.
Sampling and Data Collection
Zone Sampling a New Field
Before applying any treatments, it is essential to conduct a zone sampling of new fields. This process will help identify the nutrient availability and soil health across different zones.
