How to Get Free Satellite Field Imagery

Every field with Field Boundaries in FBN can access free, 10m

EVI (Enhanced Vegetation Index) satellite images updated on a near weekly basis throughout the growing season.

How to Get Satellite Images of Your Fields:

  1. Go to the Analyze section in the top menu --> My Operation
  2. Select Maps --> Satelite Maps --> Select a Field
  3. Select the Month and Day of Image, and Image Type (Raw, Relative, and NDVI)

More About EVI:

Both NDVI and EVI measure vegetation biomass by looking at the difference in light reflected in near-infrared (which healthy vegetation strongly reflects) and visible (which healthy vegetation absorbs) bands. However, EVI compensates for atmospheric distortions and distortions due to the ground cover below the canopy. In addition, EVI has higher sensitivity to dense vegetation. By reading the light spectrums of crop images, EVI provides an indication of the stage of crop growth and health. It is similar to NDVI satellite images, but includes image improvements that are not included in NDVI.
