Data Tools

The soil temperature map is available to FBN® members in the United States. The map updates daily to show the average soil temperature from 0-10 cm below the surface. To find FBN 's soil temperature map: Log in to FBN.com Click on Analyze in the top menu Click on My Operation in left-hand menu Click on Maps Click on Soil Temperature . Use the + and - to zoom the map in and out. Please note that the most recent map available will always have a 3 day lag. For example, if you view the map on March 5th, the current map will reflect soil temperatures from March 2nd.

Seed Finder can be found in your FBN® account under the Analyze tab. Use Seed Finder to see how over 4,000 individual seed varieties have performed under a range of conditions across the network. Filter the information by years, location, seed company, soil types, previous crop (rotation), irrigation, relative maturity, trait, and drainage. You can upload data into your account from over 30 different monitor types, which allows us to utilize all types of data including planting, harvest, applications (fertilizer/pesticide/herbicide), soil fertility tests, etc.

The FBN® Soil Type Map shows the distribution of soil types across your field as defined by the NRCS SSURGO database in the U.S. and the CANSIS database in Canada. The colored areas on the map represent the different soil types as identified in the legend below the map. Hover your mouse over the colors in the chart to see the soil type and the percentage.

The FBN® Seed Variety Map shows the seed variety or varieties that your planter recorded throughout the field. This feature is available to FBN members in the United States and Canada. The color range on the map varies depending on how many varieties you planted on that field for the year. Hover over the colors in the chart to see the percentage planted.

The FBN®   Seeding Rate Map shows the actual seeding rate that your planter recorded throughout the field. This feature is available to FBN members in the United States and Canada. The color range on the map varies between light yellow to dark green. Dark green areas represent higher seeding rates while light yellow areas represent lower seeding rates. Although the same colors will appear on each seeding rate map, the range of values and seeding rate is limited to the selected field and will vary from field to field. Legend Each bar in the histogram bar chart represents the percentage of the field that corresponds to each seeding rate range and color on the map. Light yellow bars represent areas with lower seeding rates, while dark green bars represent areas with higher seeding rates. Your average seeding rate value is shown above the chart.

The FBN® Target Seeding Rate Map shows the seeding rate that you were trying to achieve across your field based on your planting files. This feature is available to FBN members in the United States and Canada. The color range on the map varies between light yellow to dark green. Dark green areas represent higher target seeding rates while light yellow areas represent lower target seeding rates. Although the same colors will appear on each target seeding rate map, the range of values and seeding rate is limited to the selected field and will vary from field to field. Legend The bars on the histogram bar chart represents the percentage of the field that corresponds to each target seeding rate range and color on the map. Light yellow bars represent areas with lower target seeding rates, while dark green bars represent areas with higher target seeding rates. Your average target seeding rate value is shown above the legend.

FBN® analytics are currently optimized for major row crops including Corn, Soybeans, Wheat, Cotton, Alfalfa, Edible Beans, Barley, Rice, Sunflowers, Sorghum, Popcorn, Sugarbeets, Peas, Oats, Rye, Rapeseed, Chickpeas, Lentils, Mustard, Canary Seed, Lupins, Flax and Silage Crops. You don't have to farm one of the crops above to benefit from FBN. Farmers use the   free FBN App , Price Transparency insights, crop protection and nutrition products , and  additional free resources on FBN.com to optimize their yields on dozens of additional crops, including orchard crops and fresh market vegetables.

The FBN® Crop Moisture Map shows the crop moisture percentage throughout your field at the time of harvest. The color range on the map varies between light blue/green to dark blue. Dark blue areas represent higher moisture percentage while light blue/green areas represent a lower moisture percentage. Although the same colors will appear on each crop moisture map, the range of values and percentage of moisture is limited to the selected field and will vary from field to field.

The FBN® Drydown Percent Map shows the percent moisture reduction needed to reach the standard moisture for your crop. The standard moistures used vary by crop. The color range on the map varies from dark blue to light blue/green. Dark blue areas require more moisture reduction while light blue areas need less moisture reduction. Although the same colors will appear on each drydown percent map, the range of values and percentage of drydown percentage is limited to the selected field and will vary from field to field. The colors should not indicate “good” or “bad”, but instead should be understood as more or less moisture reduction needed compared to the rest of the field. 

The FBN® Yield Map shows crop yield throughout the field at the time of harvest. The color range on the map varies from green to yellow to red. Green areas represent higher yield while red areas represent lower yield and yellow areas are somewhere in between. Although the same colors will appear on each yield map, the range of values and percentage of yield is limited to the selected field and will vary from field to field. The colors should not indicate “good” or “bad” yield, but instead should be understood as higher and lower yield compared to the rest of the field. With FBN Yield Maps you can print the map directly from your FBN Account by clicking the Print Map button Legend Each bar on the histogram bar chart represents the percentage of the field that corresponds to each yield range and color on the map. Red bars represent areas with lower yield, while green bars represent areas with higher yield. Your average yield value is shown above the chart.
