A good field overview is about getting the right information quickly when decisions need to be made. In Agdir, all relevant data per field is gathered in one view: weather forecasts, satellite images, sensor data, journal history, and active tasks. The result is faster prioritization, fewer mistakes, and a clearer picture of what is happening where. For family farms in generational transition, this means fewer headaches and more shared understanding of the operational situation.

Field overview as a working tool – not just a map‍

Agdir’s field overview is more than a map with lines. It is a dashboard showing everything that affects decisions per field: which weather windows are coming, where satellites show stress, what the sensors are measuring, and which tasks are waiting. Everything in one view, updated in real time.

‍

‍

What a good field overview should include

Basic data per field

• Area and boundaries: Accurate field borders and area for correct dosage calculations
• Soil type and crop: Basic information influencing all measures and recommendations
• History: Previous crops, actions, and results providing context

‍

‍

Real-time data

• Weather forecast: Windows for spraying, fertilizing, and irrigation per field
• Satellite images: Biomass and stress indicators updated regularly
• Sensor data: Soil moisture, temperature, and other values from installed sensors

‍

‍

Activity and planning

• Tasks: What needs to be done when, with priority and responsibility
• Journal: Latest actions and observations per field
• Recommendations: System-generated suggestions based on combined data

How the field overview is organized in Agdir

Map view as starting point
An interactive map shows all fields with color coding based on status: green = OK, yellow = attention, red = action needed.

‍

Detail panel per field
Clicking on a field opens detailed information: weather windows, satellite history, sensor data, tasks, and journal entries.

‍

Filter and search functions
Show only fields that need action, have weather windows today, or match other criteria.

‍

Priority lists
Automatically generated lists of fields ranked by urgency based on weather, stress signals, and planned actions.

Five ways the field overview improves everyday work

Quick situational understanding
5 minutes every morning with the field overview gives a complete picture of today’s priorities and opportunities.

‍

Fewer wasted trips
Check the weather window per field before heading out – and find alternative fields if conditions change.

‍

Better team communication
Everyone sees the same information and can discuss priorities based on shared facts.

‍

‍Systematic follow-up
Nothing “falls through the cracks” when every field has its own data area with tasks and history.

‍

Faster learning
Compare actions and results between fields – and see which practices deliver the best effect.

‍

‍

‍

Practical use of the field overview – typical situations

Morning briefing (5 minutes)
See today’s weather windows, high-priority fields, and tasks that must be completed. Plan today’s driving route optimally.

‍

Weather change mid-day
Quickly switch to alternative fields when wind or rain stops planned activity.

‍

Weekly planning
Compare weather outlooks per field and plan the order of spraying, fertilizing, and irrigation.

‍

Problem solving
When one field underperforms: check weather history, action history, and compare with similar fields.

‍

Season summary
Review each field after harvest: what worked, what can be improved, what to change next year.

‍

‍

‍

Adapting the field overview to operational needs

Family farms
Simple display that all generations can use. Focus on practical prioritization and clear communication.

‍

Larger farms with employees
Role-based access: operators see tasks and weather data, management also sees economy and analysis.

‍

Seasonal workers
Simplified view with only necessary tasks and checklists per field.

‍

Advisors
Read-only access to data for better technical support and advice.

‍

‍

‍

Integration with other Agdir modules

Weather windows influence priorities
Fields with safe weather windows today get higher priority in the overview.

‍

Satellite changes color coding
Fields with stress signals from satellites are marked for extra attention.

‍

Sensors trigger alerts
Soil moisture or temperature alerts are clearly shown on affected fields.

‍

Journal provides context
Previous actions and results are displayed alongside today’s recommendations.

‍

Mobile use and field access
The field overview is available on mobile and tablet, allowing updates and decisions to be made directly in the field. GPS shows which field you are on, and relevant data is displayed automatically.

‍

‍

‍

Frequently asked questions

Can multiple users see the same overview simultaneously?
Yes, updates sync automatically across all users.

‍

Does it work without internet?
Basic data and maps are stored locally, but real-time updates require a connection.

‍

Can we customize the view?
Yes, each user can choose which data layers to display and how priorities are calculated.

‍

How often is data updated?
Weather is updated hourly, satellites every 3–7 days, sensors continuously.

Summary

A good field overview is the difference between chaos and control. When all relevant data is gathered per field and presented clearly, decisions become faster and more accurate. Agdir’s field overview makes it easy to see what is needed where, and when it pays off to act.
