How can I check the condition of my crops without going out to the field?

This is a field that belongs to a small farm-to-table restaurant. So the size isn’t that huge. We’re not feeding a whole country. But still, it’s super important for us to get the max possible yield, and for all the crops to be in great condition. The field’s not huge, but we still can’t always come by and check on it.

Don’t you have dedicated staff for that? Like people who are always or almost always on-site, running checks, spotting issues, and fixing stuff fast? I thought that’s how agronomy worked these days.

Maybe that’s how agronomists who work with huge fields do it. They’ve got proven methods and handy tools. But if it’s more of a private thing, it’s tough to figure out what’s needed and how to manage it all until you gain some experience. I heard that now they use satellite imagery precision agriculture through platforms like EOSDA Crop Monitoring. If you read more about the platform, which is actually available to anyone, it provides data on all key indexes to track crop health and spot weak areas early on.
