For all those in SW SK who need a local holiday from the cold come on down to Swift Current for @SaskWheat's Think Wheat event on the 27th. I hear that ag-water will be one of the topics... #westcdnag #water @swatmaps

When #swatcam started general cereal #plantstand counting our accuracy was the 1st chart in blue - contrast with todays #barley chart in red. With over 1m acres of images processed now - we are excited to see the new models at work in 2026 - automated AI system in use!

Soil, Water and Topography shape how every part of a field performs. By understanding these layers, farmers gain clearer insight into field variability and can make smarter variable rate decisions that improve efficiency and ROI.

Only 75 more floods @Chris_bauer_LL You guys painting lines yet?

@brill_ag @swatmaps Sure, as long as resolution is sufficient

@SWATMAPS_Derek @swatmaps Could an aerial survey be added in to the map?

Just finished mapping 600 ac field with #swatbox in pothole country. Elevation range of 88 ft. Notice potholes and hills both in high and low elevations. @swatmaps #variablerate process uses elevation data to model topography of the field to know where water collects and sheds

@brill_ag @swatmaps Distinct topography features can get mapped at higher resolution

@SWATMAPS_Derek @swatmaps Does pass to pass mapping give enough resolution for that type of country? I've been unsure on ours where gilgais/depressions can be < 20 metres diameter

Come by @swatmaps booth 473 @agritradetoday and enter to win a smoker!

Live #swatbox data from a unique field in S MB: Can see influence of topography and historical water flow on EC, but not 100% correlated. @swatmaps has well trained agronomists/partners and proven process to determine the dominant SWAT factors affecting variability in each field!
