System and method for creating demo application maps for site-specific farming
First Claim
1. A method of creating application maps, the method comprising:
- inputting agricultural product information, where each product contains a percentage of crop inputs contained in the product;
inputting crop input requirement maps, where the maps are broken into a grid that represents a field, and each cell of the grid contains crop input requirements to apply to each cell;
creating a blend of agricultural products for each cell of the grid based on the agricultural product information and crop input requirement maps;
converting the blend of agricultural products for each cell into a geographical-tagged-image-file format; and
adding unique data tags to the blend of agricultural products for each cell of the grid.

Abstract
The present invention is a system and method for creating demo application maps for site-specific farming. The demo application maps contain a blend of agricultural products. The blend of agricultural products can be viewed or printed either numerically or graphically. Once the demo application maps are combined with a map payment system, the blend of agricultural products can be used by an application machine to apply products to a field. The demo application maps are created by first inputting product information into a mapping system. The agricultural product information contains a percentage of crop inputs contained in the products. Next, the mapping system accesses crop input requirement maps. The crop input requirement maps contain a prescription of crop inputs to apply to a field. The product information and crop input requirement maps are combined to create a blend of agricultural products. The blend of agricultural products is then converted into a geographical-tagged-image-file format with unique data tags.
