TerraZoner Academy Short videos coming very soon

Crop zones, without the black box.

Short videos on what the software is actually doing at each step — why a zone landed where it did, what the numbers on it mean, and where the method stops being reliable. They are being recorded now. Each one goes up here, and inside the TerraZoner user manual, the day it is ready — open to everyone, no registration.

Built for agronomists and crop consultants — no GIS background needed.

Twenty-one short videos, five tracks

Each one under ten minutes, one job each, in the order you work: Getting Started, Workflows, Outputs, Imported data, then In-Season. Watch 1 to 3 and you can use the tool; 4 to 9 make good zones; 10 to 17 get them out and keep the work safe. They are being recorded now — each slot below fills in the day its video is ready, here and inside the user manual.

  1. 1 · Getting Started

    Field boundary requirements

    “The boundary is the one thing the satellite cannot fix. Everything inside it gets zoned, so only the crop goes inside it.”

  2. 2 · Getting Started

    The first imagery fetch

    “TerraZoner fetches every season it can see this field in. The ones it skips are the ones it could not see clearly, and it tells you.”

  3. 3 · Getting Started

    EVI2 and NDVI: what the map is made of

    “Both indexes measure the same thing. EVI2 keeps telling the strong ground apart when NDVI has stopped, so EVI2 is the default.”

  4. 4 · Workflows

    Choosing the seasons that make good zones

    “The composite is only as honest as the seasons you feed it. Drop the ones that show something other than the crop.”

  5. 5 · Workflows

    Composite Zones: create and edit

    “You chose the zone count, so the map draws that many zones whether the field has that much variation or not.”

  6. 6 · Workflows

    Refine Composite Zones by terrain

    “A low zone is usually low because it is too wet or because it is too dry. Treating them the same is the mistake terrain fixes.”

  7. 7 · Workflows

    Performance Zones

    “Same value ranges on every field, every run. When the map comes back with two zones, that is the answer, not a setting to change.”

  8. 8 · Workflows

    Refine Performance Zones by terrain

    “The terrain does not change how the ground performed. It tells you why the low ground is low, and that changes what you do about it.”

  9. 9 · Workflows

    Landscape Response Zones

    “This map suggests a cause for every part of the field. Suggests. Walk it before you bank on it.”

  10. 10 · Outputs

    Exporting zones: shapefile, KMZ, GeoTIFF and the PDF

    “Every export opens in whatever the client already runs. There is no viewer to install and nothing that only works inside TerraZoner.”

  11. 11 · Outputs

    Project backup and restore

    “One file, everything in it, nothing to re-download. Do it before every big edit.”

  12. 12 · Imported data

    Elevation from a shapefile where LiDAR is unavailable

    “Outside LiDAR coverage the terrain tools run on the points you bring. Good points, good terrain.”

  13. 13 · Imported data

    Weighted Composite Zones from two layers

    “This map is your recipe: two layers, your weights. It tells you where the recipe says to look, not how the crop grew.”

  14. 14 · Imported data

    Matrix zones

    “A matrix keeps both readings in the zone name. Low and wet is not the same ground as low and dry, and now the map says so.”

  15. 15 · Outputs

    Variable rate prescriptions

    “The acres sit right beside the rate, so the total is never a surprise at the dealer.”

  16. 16 · Outputs

    The soil sampling tool (beta)

    “Sample by zone, not by grid, and the lab results explain the map.”

  17. 17 · Support

    The assistant inside the app

    “It knows the manual. It does not know the field, and it will say so.”

    Coming very soon This video is being recorded now and will play right here.
  18. 18 · In-Season

    In-Season: introduction

    “TerraZoner tells you where the field is over the years. In-Season tells you what happened this week.”

  19. 19 · In-Season

    A variable rate prescription from recent imagery

    “One scene is one week. Prescribe from it only for what the crop needs this week.”

  20. 20 · In-Season

    Which fields are furthest along

    “The satellite shows you which fields are turning first. The combine decides the rest.”

  21. 21 · In-Season

    Damage reports: what they are and how to create one

    “This report shows what the satellite saw before and after. It is evidence for a conversation, not the verdict.”

Every video on this list is coming very soon. All of it is open to everyone — nothing to register for, nothing to sign up to — and the same videos sit inside the TerraZoner user manual once you are working in the software.
