Demo highland milpa farm

Guatemalan highlands · 2 ha · Rainy season (May–October) then dry season · Maize (rainfed)

Preparing your farm

Conceptual schematic, not a map. Drier-looking soil and straw-coloured crops mean more demonstration water stress.

Select a zone to see its moisture and water stress.

Suggested strategy

Water Resilience rotation

Short-cycle crops, mulch and a second crop on stored moisture

With water conservation as your first priority, this strategy scores highest in the demonstration ranking.

Low confidence.Most sensitive to rainfall timing. Treat as a hypothesis to test, not a forecast.

Environment at a glance

The four themes that move your decision most

All themes

Rain and water supply
Rain has been tapering off over the last weeks, with most of it falling in two heavy events.
142mm
Falling
Soil moisture
The top few centimetres are drying out steadily. Deeper soil usually stays wetter than this.

Heat and sunlight
Days are warming gradually as the rains ease. Sunlight is strong and steady.

Crop greenness
Greenness peaked and is now easing, which is normal as maize approaches maturity.

Risks and data gaps

Most severe first. Open one for the evidence and next step.

Erosion on bare sloping groundRisk: High severity
Zones 1 and 2 have the steepest slopes. Heavy storms on uncovered soil can remove topsoil quickly.
Next: Compare cover options on the Rotations page.
No measurement at 30 cmHigh severityData gap
Satellites do not see 30 cm into the soil. Root-zone values are modelled only.
Next: Record moisture at 30 cm at each sampling point.

No local ground readings yetHigh severityData gap
Every local value is pending. The Case Study field visit is designed to collect the first set.
Next: Complete the planned field visit and record the readings.
Dry spell after the rainsRisk: Medium severity
Soil moisture is falling week by week. A late dry spell would stress crops planted late.
Next: Check the Planting Calendar for earlier windows.
No yield or rainfall historyMedium severityData gap
Without past yields and a local rain record, results cannot be calibrated to this farm.
Next: Add a few seasons of yield and rain notes.

How to read this

Why the ranking changes with your priorities

Each strategy gets a 0–100 score for water, income and soil. Your priority order sets how much each score counts. Put soil first and the cover-crop rotation rises. Put income first and current practice leads.

What satellites can and cannot tell you

Satellites see the surface of a wide area. They do not see 30 cm into the soil or a single plot. That is why the plan pairs satellite context with a few local readings.

How to read the uncertainty labels

Low, medium and high describe how much to trust a number. A wide range or low confidence means: use this as a hint, then check in the field.

What 'Demo data' means here

Everything on these screens is written by hand to show how the platform will look. Nothing was retrieved from NASA and nothing was measured on a farm.
