Field boundary import

In case you have a shape file of your field(s), you can upload them by using Import Data menu item. Go to Upload Files tab.

Keep in mind that there are some restrictions:

  • Only WGS84 (EPSG:4326) shape files are supported
  • 5MB is the maximum file size
  • 1236ac/500ha is the maximum field area
  • Each shape file is treated as a single field
  • Labels will be created from the .dbf file

  1. Select Farm to upload to
  2. Click Browse button and select a file from your computer.
  3. Click Upload button. Then the application will verify that the file meets the requirements and save the field.


Wait for the confirmation dialog to see that the boundary was uploaded successfully:

Soil data import

Soil chemical analysis is one of the most important data layers in crop farming. Typically, the soil information is coming from agrochemical laboratories analyzing field soil samples collected based on a grid or zonal approach. The number of soil characteristics in a concrete file can vary from 5-10 macronutrients such as Nitrogen(N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), cation exchange capacity (CEC), soil organic matter (OM) content to 40-50 with all micronutrient properties.

You can upload soil sampling files into GeoPard Agriculture and get an easy-readable heatmap visualization of each attribute in the soil sampling file. In addition, you can delineate management zones based on any attribute, compare them with other layers like historical crop productivity and build variable rate fertilizer prescription files.

You can upload soil datasets via Import Data menu item. Select Upload Files.

Keep in mind that there are some restrictions:

  • Only WGS84 (EPSG:4326) shape files are supported with points or polygons based data.
  • The attributes must be as Numeric type (Integer or Real, not String).
  • 40MB is the maximum file size.
  • Try to eliminate the usage of special symbols like %+@ in the attributes titles.
  • The max amount of attributes is 20.
  • Each shape file is treated as a single dataset (*.shp and *.dbf files are mandatory).
  1. Select the Farm you want to upload data to. Click Soil Data tab.
  2. You can either drag-and-drop single or multiple soil datasets to the panel or click Browse button and select a dataset from your computer.
  3. Click Upload button. Then the application will verify that the file meets the requirements and save the data.

Wait for the confirmation dialog to see that the dataset was uploaded successfully:

The soil data will be available in the tree in the Soil Data section for further interactions including zones maps creation.

See Chapter Zones Maps to find more details on how to create a zones map using soil data.

GeoPard also assists with the proper planning of zonal soil sampling. You can plan your soil sampling points and route based on GeoPard multi-year zones that reflect historical crop development patterns.

  • Try to eliminate the usage of special symbols like %+@ in the attributes titles.
  • The max amount of attributes is 20.
  • Each shape file is treated as a single dataset (*.shp and *.dbf files are mandatory).
  1. Select the Farm you want to upload data to. Click Yield Data tab.
  2. You can either drag-and-drop single or multiple yield datasets to the panel or click Browse button and select a dataset from your computer.
  3. Click Upload button. Then the application will verify that the file meets the requirements and save the data.

Wait for the confirmation dialog to see that the dataset was uploaded successfully:

The dataset will be available in the tree in the Yield Data section for further interactions including zones maps creation.

See Chapter Zones Maps to find more details on how to create a zones map using yield data.

As Applied/As Planted data import

To upload as-applied data files choose Import Data menu item. Then select Upload Files.

Keep in mind that there are some restrictions:

  • Only WGS84 (EPSG:4326) shape files are supported  with points or polygons based data.
  • The attributes must be as Numeric type (Integer or Real, not String).

  1. Select the Farm you want to upload data to. Click As Applied/As Planted tab.
  2. You can either drag-and-drop single or multiple as-applied datasets to the panel or click Browse button and select a dataset from your computer.
  3. Click Upload button. Then the application will verify that the file meets the requirements and save the data.

Wait for the confirmation dialog to see that the dataset was uploaded successfully:

The dataset will be available in the tree in the As Applied/As Planted section for further interactions including zones maps creation.

Import from MyJohnDeere

Customers of GeoPard have an opportunity to import data (boundaries, Yield, As-Planted/ As-applied datasets) from John Deere Operations Center to GeoPard.

You can upload the datasets via Import Data menu item. Select From MyJohnDeere.

  1. To import all available data you should select a field and click Import All button or use select functionality. 

If a correct organization is not available, then you should go to Here you can change organizations link and add them. If John Deere organization is disabled (name has grey color), then add access to John Deere Operations Center. 

After selecting, click  Import Selected button.

  1. In the next step, you see the import setting. If you want to import only boundaries, then select Field boundaries radio button, and click Done button to start the importing process. If previously the boundary was imported, then the data will be updated.

If you want to import assets with a boundary, then select Data files radio button, and click the Next button. If previously assets with boundaries were imported, then data will be updated.

After clicking, you will have the opportunity to select Type and Period of assets. Period dropdown has the opportunity to select a range of periods.

After selecting Type and Period, click Done button to start the importing process.

Wait for the confirmation message to see that the dataset was uploaded successfully. When data is migrated, you can click Go to field link to review the data.
