The Internet
Ok, so what are you doing with the information?

If you're adjusting seed and or fertiliser rates, do you increase in the lower yielding areas or decrease the rates? We, like almost everyone here, broadcast prilled fertiliser, would that method, but even with a modern spreader with rate and section control be able to apply what you want on a small enough area, or are you talking about managing the individual field as a whole, rather than small parts of it? We would, for example adjust seed rate based on target plant population, thousand grain weight for that batch and drilling date. We split the urea over 3 dressings in the spring, it gets tweaked here and there, but across the 3 varieties of wheat it wouldn't vary much. Would you then adjust the rate according to previous maps, and how would you adjust them?

I'll attach a Google Earth image of some of the land I work on, and you can clearly see the different soil types in the stressed crops, are you able to better manage that and does it show up on the maps?
