Water-stress brief samples.

These are work-product examples for a reviewed first-walk brief. The point is not to sell a platform; it is to show what a grower or advisor can forward before deciding which block to walk first.

Request reviewed first-walk brief

One-page format

Every brief answers the same field questions.

Redacted cherry block - water restriction first walk

Block: North Okanagan cherry block, grower name removed

Date checked: Sample brief format; live brief uses the request date

Imagery: Sentinel-2 first pass; exact scene date shown during review

Confidence: Medium

Walk this area first

Start with the lower-vigor corner before walking the whole block.

What Farmbit sees

The first pass separates one weaker edge from the rest of the canopy. The pattern is worth a walk, but it is not enough to prove irrigation failure.

What to check on ground

Check emitter flow, soil moisture difference, recent pruning or replanting, and whether the weak edge maps to slope or valve zones.

3 photo/video shots needed

wide row view from the weak edge
close canopy/vigor shot
irrigation line or soil surface shot

Limitation: Satellite triage, not diagnosis. Cloud, shadows, row spacing, and 10m pixels can hide row-level causes.

Redacted apple block - boundary uncertain

Block: Central Okanagan apple block, parcel details removed

Date checked: Sample brief format; live brief uses the request date

Imagery: Public satellite first pass; boundary confidence reviewed manually

Confidence: Low to medium

Walk this area first

Confirm the block edge before trusting the ranked zone.

What Farmbit sees

The satellite preview shows a possible weak strip, but the requested boundary may include a road edge and adjacent vegetation.

What to check on ground

Confirm the actual block boundary, row direction, and whether the flagged pixels belong to the orchard or an adjacent feature.

3 photo/video shots needed

corner marker or block edge
row direction view
photo from the flagged strip toward the healthy area

Limitation: Boundary uncertainty can make a real-looking satellite signal unusable until the grower confirms the block shape.

Redacted vineyard block - good imagery first pass

Block: Okanagan vineyard block, client details removed

Date checked: Sample brief format; live brief uses the request date

Imagery: Clear public satellite scene; no closer imagery requested

Confidence: High for first-walk triage

Walk this area first

Walk the isolated low-vigor patch first, then compare with a normal row outside the patch.

What Farmbit sees

The flagged area is spatially coherent and separated from the surrounding block, making it a good first-walk candidate.

What to check on ground

Check irrigation uniformity, recent machinery traffic, soil texture change, and canopy stress signs before assuming cause.

3 photo/video shots needed

standing view across the patch
leaf/canopy detail in patch
matching comparison shot in normal area

Limitation: Even a high-confidence first pass cannot identify the cause without field evidence.

Use the checklist before walking every block.

The checklist page explains where a satellite first pass helps and where it cannot replace irrigation and crop-advisor ground checks.
