From Multispectral Imagery to John Deere-Ready VRA Maps

Compute 7 vegetation indices, extract field boundaries with AI, and generate variable-rate prescription maps in ISOXML and John Deere format — all from a single API call.

The Problem

Where the time goes today

Today's precision-ag workflow uses 4 separate tools — photogrammetry, vegetation index calculator, GIS for zones, ISOXML exporter — and each transition is a manual format conversion.

4 separate tools in the typical precision-ag stack

10 hours per field typical analyst labor

Manual digitization of every field boundary

Each delay day = one day of suboptimal application

Differentiator

SAMGeo field boundaries — no more manual digitization

Our SAMGeo AI model extracts clean, regularized field-boundary polygons from satellite or aerial imagery automatically. For a county-wide area, what takes days of manual digitization happens in minutes — and the boundaries are clean enough to feed directly into VRA generation.
