Solutions / Agriculture & irrigation

Get the field data. Plan where to look next.

Bring satellite observations together with crop records and scouting notes. Order the data your work needs, investigate differences between fields, or build a review app without preparing every map and script yourself.

  • Irrigation managers

The work you need to do

Plan field visits around the observations.

01

Source data for the growing season

Find observations that cover your parcels at the right stages of growth. Compare archive coverage and new collection options before committing to a purchase.

What you take away

A field-specific data order and delivery specification

02

Prioritize field visits

Compare vegetation patterns against previous observations and crop records. Identify places worth inspecting and flag fields where cloud or missing data prevents a reliable comparison.

What you take away

A scouting shortlist with dates and reasons

03

Review irrigation context

Bring suitable water-use products, weather and irrigation records into the same review. Compare field patterns and identify questions for the irrigation team.

What you take away

Field comparisons and a water-management review

01 / Acquire the data

Order for your location.
Specify what matters.

Request data for fields anywhere on Earth. Match available observations to parcel size, crop timing and the measurements needed by your adviser or existing tools.

Location & field boundaries
Supply parcel boundaries and field names. Describe the smallest management zone you need to distinguish so the requested detail fits the field.
Crop timing & repeat coverage
Specify growing stages, comparison seasons and the observation window. Include how often you need coverage and when the files must arrive.
Measurements & quality
Request relevant vegetation bands or suitable water-use products. Check usable coverage, cloud, calibration and the smallest feature the measurements can distinguish within your parcels.
Delivery & intended use
Choose analytical files, field summaries or imagery for viewing. Confirm adviser and grower access, export rights and the complete quote before ordering.
  • Optical and multispectral
  • Radar where suitable
  • Thermal and modeled water-use products
  • Field and weather records

Just need the data? Acquiring it is a complete outcome. Use delivered files in your own tools where the license permits, or continue with analysis and apps in Milkypad.

02 / Run your own analysis

Prepare the next scouting round

Ask the assistant to organize a field comparison, then use local knowledge to decide which observations deserve a visit.

  1. 01

    Bring the field records

    Add boundaries, crop types, planting dates and recent interventions. State which seasonal comparison would help your team plan its work.

  2. 02

    Choose comparable observations

    Review dates and usable coverage. Select a suitable method and approved data options, keeping fields with insufficient observations visible.

  3. 03

    Inspect the differences

    Explore the map and field table together. Compare unusual readings with rainfall, management records and earlier scouting notes before assigning priorities.

  4. 04

    Prepare and repeat the review

    Export a visit list or save the workflow in an app. Add field findings and request another comparison when suitable observations arrive.

How AI-assisted analysis works

03 / Build and customize your app

Field Review Planner

A proposed app for advisers to review seasonal observations and keep scouting decisions beside the field evidence.

01 / Data inputs

Select observations for your fields

Start with field boundaries and the growing periods you want to compare. Keep each field connected to its crop and scouting records.

02 / Review a layer

Review a pattern before assigning a visit

The highlighted patch illustrates a vegetation difference worth investigating. Local conditions and field notes help determine the next check.

  • East parcelCompare with its crop history
  • Coverage checkKeep missing observations visible

03 / Use an app

Give the adviser a scouting view

An app can connect the field map to visit priorities and local notes. Select a field, inspect its context and prepare a review list.

  • North fieldInspect the highlighted patch
  • East parcelReview the previous field note
  • South fieldInclude in the next comparison

Prepared scenes and records show how a workflow could look. These are illustrative locations and layers, with no live data or analysis.

Illustrative app brief
Build a field review app with seasonal comparisons, crop filters and scouting notes. Show why a field needs attention and keep missing observations visible.

Describe the tool and the changes you need in ordinary language. The AI assistant helps build it; colleagues use the resulting maps, tables, and controls without writing code.

Field comparison map

Selected observations with parcel names, dates and usable coverage.

Visit shortlist

Fields to inspect, the reason for review and relevant local notes.

Adviser report

A dated summary of comparisons, field findings and proposed follow-up.

Use the result with context

Use a vegetation signal to guide inspection

An unusual reading can reflect weather, management, soil or observation conditions. Vegetation indices summarize reflected light; on their own they do not diagnose disease or nutrient deficiency, prescribe irrigation, or establish yield. Review quantitative water-use estimates against appropriate local measurements.

Questions for your workflow

Plan the work
around your needs.

Can I order data without using the analysis tools?

Yes. Data acquisition is a complete task. Specify your fields, dates, measurements and delivery needs, then use eligible files in your existing workflow.

Will the same data work for every field?

Field size, crop stage and usable coverage matter. Small or narrow parcels may need finer observations, while cloud can leave gaps in a seasonal series.

Can advisers customize the app without coding?

Describe the filters, charts and review steps you need. The assistant helps build and revise the app; advisers review the results using their agricultural expertise.
