Changed blocks
Find the blocks that moved enough to justify attention before the crew starts walking.
Orchard stress detection
Detect orchard stress zones before the first walk.
Farmbit helps orchard, berry, and vineyard teams flag changed blocks, likely irrigation follow-up, canopy stress patterns, and first-walk priorities from a satellite first pass.
What the crew receives
A ranked zone, a first check, and a field brief

What Farmbit can flag
What shows up in the first pass
Likely irrigation follow-up
Separate the blocks that deserve a water check from the ones that can wait.
Canopy stress patterns
Highlight the zones where canopy change is concentrated enough to inspect in the field.
Scouting priority zones
Rank the first places to stand. Do not hand over another full-block map with no start order.
Limits of the first pass
What the first pass cannot do
It cannot name a disease from a 10 m pixel.
An agronomist or advisor visit still decides treatment.
Walk the flagged area before spraying, irrigating, or replanting.
What the first check uses
Satellite first, ongoing watch only when needed
Sentinel-2 first pass
The public check starts with the latest usable satellite scene and a block-level comparison against recent history.
Mapped boundary and ranked zones
Farmbit turns the first pass into a smaller field sequence: where to start, what looks changed, and what still needs caution.
Monitor only when the field still matters
Move into Field Change Alerts when a block needs continued watch after the first signed-in satellite result.
When this first pass fits
Best fit for constrained field time
Small crews choosing the first blocks before lunch.
Uncertain block condition after irrigation, heat, or a recent shift in canopy response.
Advisor handoff when the first pass needs to be readable before anyone drives out.
Growers who want to test one block before subscribing to ongoing monitoring.
Next step
Use the stress page as a filter, not a promise.
Run the free block check first. If the sample output looks like the kind of note your team can use, move one real block through the same path.
