View and analyze split-planting maps. Application utilize soil types, yield maps, or other data in creating simple variable rate prescription maps. View and print product summaries to see total quantity needed to complete a job along with the approimate cost. use formulas for designing advanced variable rate prescription maps. Harvest layer variety maps with yield maps to establish yield performance. Average multiple years of yield maps to discover consistently high and low yielding areas of a field. Post calibrate yield data to fi mistakes in yield monitor calibration. Guidance Lines Create, edit, and manage guidance paths from popular guidance systems including all Trimble field displays. 3

5 Soil Sample Locations ph Soil Test Results Soil Test Create a map of target grids or zones and transfer the job to Farm Works Mobile. Enter or import the results of soil tests and generate a map of the data. design a template for each soil lab import and use for multiple fields.

Enable flow arrows and tributary lines to assist with tracing the natural surface water flows. 3D Map Display View field topographical data in 3D from any angle and eaggerate the vertical to visualize the shape and slopes of the field. Levee Creation Create levee paths from topography data based on contour, interval, and turn radius settings. 5

7 Drainage Design utilize the drawing tools to tie laterals to mains, create parallel lateral spacings, and clip drainage lines. layout and design drainage tile by size, pipe type and phase, then enter the minimum depth, maimum depth, and optimum grade for each. Print out maps that include useful information such as drain lengths and the total amount of each material required. Easily make design adjustments based on vertical profile and set or change direction of water outlet. utilize the design check feature to confirm that all drainage lines flow correctly.
