SWAT Records
Our desktop and mobile software that manages and integrates the entire SWAT ECOSYSTEM. It helps streamline the 12-step process and ensures accurate data management.
How it works
From Field Mapping to Better Acre-by-Acre Decision Making
SWAT MAPS provides one system for understanding field variability from the ground up. Through high-resolution soil mapping, zone-based sampling, variable-rate prescriptions, and ongoing analytics, farmers can make more informed decisions about where to invest, where to adjust, and where to protect profit.
A Guided Process
From field data to decisions, with expert guidance along the way
You know your acres. They know the process.
Getting started with SWAT MAPS does not mean adding another complicated tool to manage on your own. Your trained service provider handles the mapping, ground-truthing, sampling, prescriptions, and support needed to turn field variability into clear next steps.
Together, you build a stronger foundation for every decision that follows.
Your role is simple
Share your goals, provide available field information, and work with your provider to make decisions that fit your acres, equipment, and management strategy.
How it Works
A proven path from field variability to management strategy
- 1
Map the field foundation
Your field is mapped to collect high-resolution soil, water, and topography data, which is used to identify meaningful zones of variability.
- 2
Ground-truth the zones
Your service provider reviews the zones in the field to make sure it accurately reflects the visual soil and water patterns.
- 3
Soil sample by zone
Soil samples are collected by zone so nutrient levels, texture, soil carbon, and other properties can be understood in context.
- 4
Build VR prescriptions
Your provider creates prescriptions for any applications you need, based on SWAT zones, soil test results, field logistics, and equipment capabilities.
- 5
In-season monitoring
Plant counts, tissue testing, crop observations, SWAT WATER, SWAT CAM, and other tools can help track what is happening in season.
- 6
Analyze & adjust
Soil analytics, yield analytics, and profit reporting help evaluate what worked and how each zone can be managed more effectively in future seasons.
The Foundation
The tools, training, and support behind the process
SWAT Support
Our knowledge base for farmers and partners. Here you can find frequently asked questions (FAQs), informative articles, and direct access to our support team for additional assistance.
SWAT Academy
Our online learning self-paced platform provides training for service providers. It teaches partners how to effectively execute each step of the SWAT ECOSYSTEM.
The Soil Potential Process
The Tech Behind Each Step
Everything starts in the soil. The soil potential process is based on creating high resolution soil foundation maps used to execute variable rate fertilizer, seed, soil amendment, pesticide, or precision water management. Understanding soils is the core of a successful fertility program. Every SWAT MAPS service provider will execute this 6-step process.
Step 1 of 6
SWAT BOX
The first step is collecting the quality data needed to create a SWAT MAP. A SWAT MAPS service provider will drive the field(s) in 80ft (24m) passes, using a SWAT BOX. The SWAT BOX is a patented autonomous soil mapping system that can be mounted to many different vehicles, most commonly trucks, ATVs or other off-road vehicles, but also seeders or planters.
Trusted by Farmers Globally
Proven Across Millions of Acres
SWAT MAPS has achieved a 98% client acre retention rate year over year across millions of acres. Farmers continue using the system because it brings long-term value to their management decisions.
At the end of the process, you have:
- A permanent SWAT MAP for each field
- Ground-truthed zones based on soil, water, and topography
- Zone-based soil sampling and analytics
- Variable-rate prescriptions for key inputs
- Field records and reports inside SWAT RECORDS
- A foundation for future tools like SWAT WATER, SWAT CAM, Yield Analytics, and profit reporting
- A clearer way to manage variability year after year
