How many images do I get for my Whole Farm Price?
You receive a minimum of one image per week throughout the rapid growing season (February – May).
How do I get my images and application maps?
You will be provided with your own private and personal SOYLsense web account which allows you to log-in and see the most recent satellite images of your farm. You have the option to create the application maps yourself (a process that we will guide you through) or the files can be created in office and e-mailed to you. Alternatively images and maps can be sent by recorded post but this will take longer.
What GPS systems can be used for the variable applications?
You can use the same GPS equipment as you use for variable rate P and K. SOYL can create application maps for any GPS system that you have as long as it is capable of variable application. Common systems include Agleader, Trimble, RDS, LH Agro, John Deere, Agco, Claas, Patchwork, FarmWorks, Vicon, Accord and Zynx.
Is GPS equipment essential?
No, the satellite images and Leaf Area Index maps are very useful in managing your crops through the season and can be used to assist whole farm management decisions as well as manual adjustment to nitrogen applications.
Can I use liquid nitrogen?
Yes, if your sprayer controller has a GPS function.
How quickly can I get the images?
Application maps are available 3-4 days after each satellite pass.
