Field notes
After a farmer marks a field, the page says NASA and other public datasets supply local climate, soil, water, terrain, and vegetation-history inputs for the model. Requests can run for minutes to hours on volunteer computers, with results delivered in the app and optionally by push notification or confirmed email. The farmer’s answers are optional, and the priority slider ranges from “More income” to “More soil and water.”
