Although a historic yield map will not match the future output of a field in every scenario, the historical high and low potential zones of your field will be relatively consistent. As such, Yield maps represent an excellent base on which you can create field specific management zones. With SKYFLD, you can easily upload your historical yield maps and use them to create application maps.
How to upload yield maps?
1. To upload a yield map, find a field in the application for which it was prepared. You can select it from the list or find it on the map. If you want to upload a map for a field that has not been created in SKYFLD, first follow the steps from this article.
