NDVI helps with broad monitoring. Farmbit is for the same-day field decision.
A DIY stack is a hardware and maintenance project. Farmbit is the managed route when the team wants one clear weekly note instead of another system to keep alive.
Drone mapping is the closer proof step. Farmbit helps decide whether one block has earned that extra spend in the first place.
Manual scouting is still necessary. Farmbit tightens it by ranking the first walk and narrowing what the field team should verify first.
