Every field, read every five days.

Swath turns satellite passes into a map of where your crop is thriving, thirsty or falling behind, and a spray file your tractor can use the same afternoon.

Read for 2,400 farms and the co-ops that buy from them.

From 40 hectare family farms to grain co-ops with 900 members. Agronomists use the same map the farmer sees.

W10
2 March 2026Pass 1 of 24 · clear sky
W10–14Green-upThe first clear pass after winter. Swath sets the baseline from this field’s own last six seasons, not a regional average.
W15–19A corner falls behindBy week 19 the north-east corner sits 0.11 below the rest. You get one note and a nitrogen file for 3.2 hectares, not for all 48.
W20–23Caught upTwo passes later the corner is level with the field. Nothing else was sprayed.
W24–27A wet week41 mm in two days. Radar shows the strip by the ditch staying wet, so the sprayer route skips it.
W28–32Harvest orderThe south half ripens four days earlier. Swath suggests where the combine starts.
Field 12 · Winter wheat · Lindenau, Lower Saxony48.6 ha
W19 · North-east corner

3.2 ha are 0.11 below the field. Likely a nitrogen gap after the March rain.

Spray file sent to terminal
W25 · Ditch strip, 2.1 ha

Still wet two days after 41 mm. Route adjusted to keep the sprayer off it.

Soil moisture from radar

Ripening four days ahead of the north. Start the combine here.

Five layers from one pass.

Each pass over your farm is turned into the same stack of maps. Hover a layer to lift it out.

True colour, cloud removed

Cloud and its shadow are masked pixel by pixel, so you only look at the ground.

Crop vigour index

10 m pixels, compared with this field’s own history, so a light soil is not flagged every year.

Soil moisture

Radar sees through cloud, so a grey week is still a week you can read.

Management zones

Three to five zones per field, drawn from six seasons of vigour and your yield maps.

Prescription file

ISOXML or shapefile, ready for most terminals sold in the last ten years.

No drone flights, no sensors to install. Draw your field boundaries once and Swath reads them on every clear pass.

The satellite passes

Sentinel-2 images a 290 km strip. Your fields are somewhere in it.

13:10

Cloud comes off

We mask cloud and shadow, correct for haze and compute the index for every 10 m pixel.

14:02

You get one note

Only when part of a field moves away from its own normal. Most passes, nothing to do.

16:30

The file is in the cab

Approve the rate on your phone. The terminal picks up the file over the air or from USB.

Sprayer crossing a dark green field seen from above

3.2 hectares sprayed instead of 48. The corner had been short of nitrogen for years, and nobody could see it from the road.

Optical satellites cannot see through cloud, so Swath also reads radar, which can. You still get soil moisture and a coarser growth signal on grey weeks, and the full index the next time the sky clears.

No. Everything comes from satellites that already pass over your farm. You draw your field boundaries once, or import them from your farm software.

We export ISOXML and shapefiles, which most terminals from the last ten years can read. Send us the model before the demo and we will test a file on it.

You do. Field boundaries, yield maps and notes stay yours, are stored in the EU and are never sold. You can export everything or delete it at any time.

Anything above about 2 hectares. Below that a field is only a few hundred pixels and the edges start to blur into the hedge.

We will read its last six seasons before the call and show you what the satellites already know about it.
