Summary

The Productivity section shows the changes in the amount of biomass on the property over time, where ‘biomass’ can be inferred as crops or pasture.

How to use this information

Use this information to:

• Understand the relationship between rainfall and productivity
• Understand which types of crop thrive under different environmental conditions
• Identify years of particularly high or low productivity for further investigation

Components

• Chart showing annual total biomass (relative to min and max of detected biomass of the property) since 2010
• Chart showing annual total rainfall compared to annual total biomass since 2010
• Chart showing estimated yields for common crop types (based on satellite image analysis and Australian government farm survey data) since 2006

Useful to know

Yield models were automatically generated from combining satellite imagery and survey data on a broadacre-zone level. These model outputs are estimates only and the accuracy varies depending upon data availability and region.
