[QUOTE="Phil P, post: 7244984, member: 33598"] I’ve been using [USER=6123]@Rhiza-UK[/USER] contour/toolbox software for about 4 years now. Satellite images have there place and we have picked up some very useful data from them, however you have to put the whole package together to see any difference. As [USER=166]@Brisel[/USER] says you also need the time to do it, these systems don’t replace boots in the field but can help with knowing where to walk! We do every from VR seed, p&k, and depending on the season VR N, the N is a hard one to monitor and see the difference/justify. I’m hoping to do some field scale trials with VR N next year, the NDVI images come in handy to monitor these sorts thing. We did some cover crop trials a couple of years back and these show up still on the NDVI and yield maps! In a nut shell, if I was farming any less it probably wouldn’t warrant it and if I was on a massive acreage I probably wouldn’t have the time to get the most out of it. But on my current scale with our very variable soil types (stone, clay and black sand all in the same field) I think it has its place. [/QUOTE]
