How to create a STACK

STACK Analysis allows you to use imagery across multiple years to create a map of your fields. To learn more about STACK and when and why to use it, see here.

To create a STACK Analysis in DataFarming, you can click the button on the Homepage, or once you have already selected a Farm, select Stack Analysis under the 'I want to' button.






Next, name your analysis and select the month with the highest growth. 


Then, select the years you would like the for the analysis. 






For each year selected you will need to choose an image to use. It is recommended to select an image with low cloud cover. If the original month you selected, is not the best representative of peak biomass for that year, you can change it at this step, when selecting an image. 


Once you have selected an image for each year, select to Add to Cart and Proceed to Checkout (Basic and Advanced Users). For Pro Users, select Create Stack Analysis - you will not be required to go through the checkout, as you have unlimited access to create STACK Analysis.






For Basic and Advanced users, once the payment is complete, the STACK will process and you will have the option to View or Export.



For Pro Users, you will be navigated to view the STACK and have the option to export, by selecting the 3 dots next to your STACK name.
