Release Notes

September 1st, 2023

• A heading indicator will now appear around a user's location marker in the FarmQA mobile app to help users better navigate their fields. 

August 29th, 2023

• The distance to the nearest geomarker is now displayed when users are in Soil Sampling mode, allowing users to better navigate to their soil sampling locations.
• Fields in the FarmQA mobile app can now be colored by crop, crop variety, organization, and Tasks. Tasks can further be colored by the status of the Task associated with that field. 
• Users can sort their Tasks by organization to better manage and plan the Tasks they need to get done.

August 9th, 2023

• Management zones can now be edited from the FarmQA web app. This allows users to recategorize zones as needed in new growing seasons.
• Management zones can be aligned to a user-defined grid. Mangement zones edited in this way can make applying prescriptions more actionable in the field. 

July 18th, 2023

• Users who subscribe to Planet imagery can now access modified soil adjusted vegetation index (MSAVI), Red edge, and Red band imagery. These indexes can be used to remotely monitor crop growth and health throughout the growing season.
• Map layer images can be used to view layer images in multiple fields at the same time making comparisons across fields even easier. 

June 25th, 2023

• Users can export up to 25 fields to a PDF, up from the previous limit of 5, to help with crop planning or easily sharing information. 
• Scouting reports that were created from different scouting templates can now be exported to the same PDF report. 
• Point-based datasets, like soil sample and crop yield data, can be converted into a continuous heat map to give you a better idea of the true data distribution in your field(s). 
• Allow users to enter field total yield values instead of always per acre. 

June 15th, 2023

• Scouting templates can be assigned to geomarkers so that when you're scouting a geomarker type, like an insect trap, you'll be able to easily access a customized template for that specific scouting scenario. 
• Users can allow for scouting reports to be merged even if they were created using different scouting templates.

May 25th, 2023

• Multiple scouting reports can be consolidated into a single printout to concisely provide scouting information to your growers. 
• Multiple years' worth of metric data can be displayed in a single metric visualization.
• Users can now delete pictures while editing scouting reports.
• If your field has an associated field entrance, the coordinates of the entrance will be printed on your field PDF exports.
• Recommendations can now be readily accessed from your Apply (or spray) tasks so you can easily access the information you need to complete that chemical recommendation. 
• The time at which Apply tasks were completed will be displayed on field Excel exports. 
• Your Tasks can now be sorted and viewed by Organization in the Task View from the FarmQA web app.

May 18th, 2023

• Soil test results from AgVise labs can now be brought into your account and associated with the locations they were collected at automatically.
• Grid-based soil sample plans can be created from the mobile or web app to guide precision soil sampling in the field.
• Picklist-based metric data can be easily graphed over time to assess crop grow or disease/pest pressure.
