Abstract
In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method of tracking soil sampling in a field is disclosed. The method comprises receiving, by a processor, digitally stored field map data and digitally stored sampling data. The method further comprises displaying, by the processor, a field map depicting the first set of sampling points in a computer-generated graphical user interface. In addition, the method comprises receiving a selection of a first sampling point and displaying first sampling data associated with the first sampling point. The method also comprises receiving an update indicating that a soil sample has been collected at the first sampling point. Finally, the method comprises determining a second sampling point at which a next soil sample is to be collected and displaying the second sampling point in the field map.
