I am working on setting up a variable rate map for the planter using last years dry yield harvest data and am having some issues I cant seem to figure out. I have "Soybean #1" setup as a default of 130,000 pop/acre but when I use the contour view I created to make the application map and set it up as a "planting/seeding" task it sets the default to 30. I know I can change it manually later but I would like to know what I am doing wrong.http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,67372,67372#msg-67372Sat, 18 May 2013 21:54:28 -0400 Phorum 5.2.7 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,67372,67619#msg-67619 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,67372,67619#msg-67619
I do agree that being able to do a formula on a single attribute for a contour makes sense and I'll pass this on to the programmers.]]> Scott Nusbaum Office - MappingTue, 01 May 2012 16:50:33 -0400 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,67372,67610#msg-67610 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,67372,67610#msg-67610
Thanks for your explaination and insight.
I understand completly what you are saying about the independant attributes within point data and how their integrity is maintained within a gridded view. Complex formula's need to have this independant integrity of attributes. Grid soil sampling is a common practice in the corn and soybean areas of the country and a worthy practice.
However, zonal sampling is also a fairly common practice as well. Also I see alot of VRA work done based off (1) one attribute alone, be it yield, elevation, or nutrient level, etc.. If I create a contour map based on yield there is only one attribute in the info tab to account for, yield. Therefore a Simple formula should work I would think without having to change each individual legend item in the edit plan map to get the affect.

Hopefully I am thinking logically,
Thanks,]]> Mitch Konen Office - MappingTue, 01 May 2012 09:53:27 -0400 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,67372,67591#msg-67591 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,67372,67591#msg-67591It's on the "To Do List". However, the challenge is that contours are dependent on the data attribute. So if you have soil test points that have pH, N, P, K, etc... (or for yield Dry Yield and Moisture). The contours for each data attribute will be different. Whereas when you create a gridded view, the grids are the same for all attributes (they essentially "drill down" through the data). The advantage to grids is that it allows you to have a formula that utilizes the data from any attribute on the layer. If you're using contours, that would not be possible (and formulas would be limited to a single attribute).]]> Scott Nusbaum Office - MappingMon, 30 Apr 2012 10:31:04 -0400 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,67372,67583#msg-67583 http://www.farmworks.com/forum/read.php?9,67372,67583#msg-67583

I am going to have to review the proper procedure for this either in the FAQ's or the manual, or the Tutorials, before I say much more.

I sent you a email about 2 weeks ago regarding this issue. Did you receive it? Wondering if it got lost in the pile.
