STEPS
TO INTERPRETATION
CORRELATE - Compare patterns of relative crop conditions on the map versus field history and what you see on the ground. Draw boundaries around zones of similar crop conditions. CALIBRATE - Quantify the estimated yield differences between the good, fair, poor zones in the field. CALCULATE - determine economic cost/benefit by calculating yield differences by zone x acres x price, less cost to fix. NUMBERED COMMENTS 1. Severe hail damage on 73.1 acres of soybeans. Quantify economic impact by making in-field yield estimates x acres x price. 2. Moderately heavy damage on 36.6 acres of soybeans. Quantify economic impact by making in-field yield estimates x acres x price. 3. No hail damage on 36.8 acres of soybeans. Compare in-field yield/acre difference with the other two zones to accurately quantify the economic impact. |
