Man made structures are becoming more apparent, as well as individual large trees. Ponds are indicated in this image as dark red features. Variation in the very top layer of the soil causes color differences between and within fields.

At full resolution each pixel in the image covers an area 2 meters (approximately 2 yards) square on the ground. The image below shows the area indicated in the above image. Notice the variability of the data from just within this one field. Farmers could exploit this information to properly manage fertilization and irrigation.
