Scouting prioritization
Know which blocks or rows need a walk first instead of covering the whole property the same way.
Weekly scouting
Orchard scouting and block monitoring for faster field checks.
Farmbit helps orchard, berry, and vineyard teams find changed blocks, likely stress zones, and first-walk priorities from a satellite first pass before anyone covers the whole property the same way.

What Farmbit is replacing
Not another map drop
You should not need to interpret a fresh orthomosaic from scratch every week.
Not another software seat
Farmbit is meant to hand off the next field decision, not create another tool the grower or advisor has to babysit.
A weekly field check
Result page, ranked zones, likely drivers, and next checks for the next walk or advisor visit.
Use cases
What crop teams and advisors can decide faster
Irrigation checks
Turn weak field signals into clear water / wait / check follow-ups for the field team.
Advisor-ready first pass
Hand the advisor or grower a short first-pass note before anyone spends half the day chasing weak signals.

Comparison pages work best when they stay focused on the operational decision, not on a feature-table argument.
Satellite NDVI vs Farmbit
NDVI helps with broad monitoring. Farmbit is for the same-day field decision.
DIY sensors vs managed system
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 vs Farmbit
Drone mapping is the closer proof step. Farmbit helps decide whether one block has earned that extra spend in the first place.
Manual orchard scouting vs Farmbit
Manual scouting is still necessary. Farmbit tightens it by ranking the first walk and narrowing what the field team should verify first.
