Thinking Seed

Remember, you can create Seed Prescription files in SOILMAP! Just like fertilizer these can be sent to any controller format you choose. You are not required to have soil sample points on your field to create these.

Planning Templates

Do you find yourself planning the same product or products over and over again? Why don't you just create a template for those products and save yourself some work? You can create your planning templates under Settings - Company - Planning Templates. The template is then selectable when in the planning screen.

Spring Planning

Under the DM level you can plan for all your farms. You can even target a specific crop. In this example I pressed the "All Corn" Button and added the chemical Fusilade DX

Updating Rates

As many of you start to plan products for spring you may run across default rates that have changed from last year. Did you know you can change the default rate? This is permission based. So please ask MAPS or your company GIS person to make the change if this is currently unavailable to you.

Settings - Company - Chemical - Edit

Updated Report

The Field Sample Analysis report was updated in late December with the addition of the past/current/future crop.

You can now run a summary of Acres x Crop x Split Account #, for example.

There are tons of extremely useful reports to be created in SOILMAP. Let us know if you would like us to add any attributes useful to you.

Field Information Sheet Updated

The Field Information Sheet had some changes to it. Log in and print one out to see the updated changes.
