Zone MAPS

CropPro has spent many years trying to find a way to map fields in east-central Saskatchewan. The variability in our area has some unique features. The fertility attributes of our fields also have some unique features.

We typically develop 10 zones. Once the zones get around 5 we feel the resolution is too low and small pockets of salinity and light soils become lost. Every field is a bit different. In the picture above the high rates of nitrogen fertilizer were put on the zones where the yield goal is relatively low. Sometimes you have to think outside the box. These areas have traditionally been low yielders but the farm client would like to see if that would change with a more aggressive nitrogen rate. It's only a small experiment in this case but we certainly do work with our clients to try new ideas.

We have designed our Zone MAPS to be as concrete as possible. They are like the foundation of our variable-rate fertilizer services. We have enough confidence in them that we only do it once. As long as our clients are 100% satisfied that the Zone MAPS accurately represent the field, we don't need to charge them again for that service.

Our process is unique and of very high quality. When the quality is this high it is done right the first time. If you would like us to Zone your fields with our MAPS process, please contact us.
