Crop Health Variability is a consistent metric to monitor, reducing the need for you to interpret the visual variance 7/27/2015 Scouting Map (relative color Climate Crop Index) Quickly identify areas of concern within a field in order to prioritize efforts Quickly Spot Changes in Your Fields Track variability over time to know if something is happening in the field The scouting layer highlights the variability of the vegetation within a given field Scaled and colored to *Because the scale will change depending on the field and visually you will always see good areas and bad areas, you should not use the scouting map to compare across fields or across time. visibly maximize the variability from one area to the next - Helping you to identify the better performing areas of the field from the relatively worse performing ones For demonstration purposes only actual product may look different.
