Resources for Producers
Satellite data can help farmers and ranchers make more informed decisions, from monitoring crop health and managing water use to improving fertilizer efficiency and tracking changes across their land.
Explore tools and resources developed with support from NASA Acres, along with other publicly available and commercial platforms that put satellite data and agricultural information at your fingertips. Whether you're managing crops, rangelands, or other agricultural products, these resources offer new ways to understand conditions, improve efficiency, and support decisions on your operation.
NASA Acres-Supported Tools and Resources
A new resource designed to make satellite-based agricultural information more accessible and useful for farmers and ranchers.
NASA Acres App (coming soon)
Bring satellite imagery, field observations, and farm data together in one place. Map your fields, track conditions, collect scouting information, and create management maps to support more precise decisions.
