They did have the option out there last year which they called a buyback option where the farmer bought the box and then at the end of the season they bought it back which really made sense for farmers who had 6000 acres + ...I did research it with a 10000 acre farm just for example all of a sudden your first year would drop down to $8 -$9 /acre ....the other neat part of there program is any farm...
That’s interesting, do you buy the equipment or is it part of the program? I noticed on their website that there were multiple boxes mounted on a high boy boom

No ,they actually have the option to install there swat box on any piece of equipment and then you map it yourself which actually saved us a huge amount of money ...because think about it a farmer runs over his field 4-5 times a year average ...worked out real good for us !
Have you researched SWAT MAPS we mapped our whole farm with them in 2020 and this year we tried there platform and we defiantly saw some benefits ...they are roughly $10 for the first year /acre and the following years they fall back to $3.50 /acre ....we researched soil optix and in our opinion VR is not worth $20 /acre

Did someone come out and map with their swat box?
I have very hilly complex fields
I have a few fields done
Makes a very nice map lots of detail, big swings in rates.
I create my own from yeild/elevation and are good enough for basic npk
Probably not worth the price unless you are planning some soil repair like lime or something else costly.
