Which of your fields needs a visit this week?

REFARM Space reads Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellite images of each field, updated every few days. It compares the crop’s greenness with what is normal there for the time of year, and tells you when a field is worth walking out to check.

How it works

Four questions, one real field

Real satellite data from our Volos field.

  1. What the satellite sees

    A satellite photographs the field every few days in 10 × 10 m squares. Darker green means more living leaves.

  2. What it means

    We compare each field with its own normal for the time of year. Below it for a while means: take a look.

  3. What to do

    If a field stays below its normal, you get a suggested check. You decide what happens next.

    How warnings become checks

    Suggested check

    No check needed this week

    When
    A field stays clearly below its normal on several clear images in a row
    What
    A short check, for example walking the field and looking at the crop
    Then
    You decide what happens next
    A suggested check can be saved as a file that other farm software can read.
  4. How far to trust it

    It is an early hint, not a diagnosis.

    Read all the limitations
    Clouds
    Cloudy weeks leave gaps between clear images.

    Simple rules
    A warning says where, not why. A visit tells you why.
