Abstract: A system for implementing a trial in one or more fields is provided. In an embodiment, a agricultural intelligence computing system receives field data for a plurality of agricultural fields. Based, at least in part, on the field data for the plurality of agricultural fields, the agricultural intelligence computing system identifies one or more target agricultural fields. The agricultural intelligence computing system sends, to a field manager computing device associated with the one or more target agricultural fields, a trial participation request. The server receives data indicating acceptance of the trial participation request from the field manager computing device. The server determines one or more locations on the one or more target agricultural fields for implementing a trial and sends data identifying the one or more locations to the field manager computing device. When the agricultural intelligence computing system receives application data for the one or more target agricultural fields, the agricultural intelligence computing system determines whether the one or more target agricultural fields are in compliance with the trial. The agricultural intelligence computing system then receives result data for the trial and, based on the result data, computes a benefit value for the trial.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring an agricultural implement. The system includes a monitor device, a communication module and a display device. The monitor device is in electrical communication with a plurality of sensors monitoring the operation of agricultural implement. The implement sensors generate “as-applied” data. The as-applied data is processed and transmitted to a display device via a communication module. The display device renders maps representing the as-applied data. The generated maps may be accessed and displayed as map overlays on a display device with a common view characteristic.

Abstract: Described herein are a system and methods for identifying fields and tasks (e.g., agricultural fields and tasks). In one embodiment, system includes a display device to display a representation of one or more agricultural fields with geo-referenced boundaries and to receive one or more inputs for identifying at least one agricultural field with agricultural field identification information. A processing system is communicatively coupled to the display device. The processing system is configured to automatically transmit raw data including measurement data and location component data to the display device in response to a machine or an implement starting and to automatically identify location component data of the raw data. The processing system is further configured to automatically assign raw data to at least one agricultural field.

Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for agricultural data analysis. In one embodiment, a computer system for monitoring field operations includes a database for storing agricultural data including yield and field data and at least one processing unit that is coupled to the database. The at least one processing unit is configured to execute instructions to monitor field operations, to store agricultural data, to automatically determine whether at least one correlation between different variables or parameters of the agricultural data exceeds a threshold, and to perform analysis of the agricultural data to identify a category of man-made issues or other issues that have potentially caused the correlation when at least one correlation occurs between different variables or parameters of the agricultural data.
