Draw Your Fields on a Satellite Map
Start with one field: find your farm on satellite imagery, draw the boundary, add its name and crop, then save. CropBuddy calculates the area in acres.
Try it with one field — free during public beta, no payment card required.
Key benefits
- Draw field boundaries directly on satellite imagery
- Area calculated from the drawn polygon
- Boundary coordinates stored with the field record
- Crop and status shown alongside the mapped field
How it works
Open the map, draw the outline of a parcel and CropBuddy computes the enclosed area using a geodesic area calculation. The boundary coordinates are stored with the field, so the shape is there the next time you open the map, together with the crop and status you recorded for that field.
Frequently asked questions
What does CropBuddy cost right now?
The current public beta is free and no payment card is required. The planned subscription is $24.99 USD/month for 5 users, plus $1.99 USD/month for each additional user. Paid subscriptions are not available yet, and there is no launch date. Any future paid subscription requires explicit opt-in.
How is the area calculated?
From the polygon you draw, using a geodesic area calculation. It reflects the outline you draw, so accuracy depends on how carefully you trace the parcel.
Do I need GPS hardware?
No. You draw the boundary on satellite imagery in the browser.
Can I edit a boundary later?
Yes. You can redraw a field boundary and the stored area is recalculated from the new shape.
Practical farm-work guides
- Start with One Field: A Simple Farm Software Setup
Move one real farm job from a spreadsheet or group chat into a shared plan: map a field, assign a task and review the finished work in CropBuddy.
Start with one field, plan one task and add your crew or inventory when you need them. Paid subscriptions are not available yet. See planned pricing.
