About AgreLocate

AgreLocate is a free web based tool that enables users to:

  • View high resolution satellite imagery through the widely used Google interface
  • Accurately locate sites or areas of interest
  • Digitise boundaries, assign names to and compute areas of enclosed polygons
  • Export resulting boundaries and centroids of polygons as shape files
  • Search and order satellite imagery at a chosen resolution from an archive or forward acquisition geo-referenced imagery
  • Receive satellite imagery, either as an attached file to an email, ftp or on DVD
  • Select from a broad range of additional information products, systems and services

Imagery and shape files are provided in a file format that is compatible with Back Paddock and PAM software. AGRECON will be encouraging vendors to web enable their farm management software by early 2009 so that existing users can more readily access important baseline data and up to date prognoses for improved day-to-day decision making and management of multi-peril and production risk at farm, field and site scales.

AgreLocate is provided by Agrecon as a free service representing the first step towards providing rural landholders across Australia with a full suite of web based information services that will remove the need to:

  • Order technically demanding and often over functionalised shrink wrapped farm management software;
  • Upgrade existing farm management software with new versions;
  • Buy aerial photography or satellite imagery to use as a mapping base with your existing software;
  • Obtain a wide variety of data, often with incompatible formats, geographical projections and time scales from a number of separate sources: including weather forecasts; climatic, production and other biophysical records; map themes and overlays; input and commodity prices; predictions and accuracy estimates regarding forthcoming seasonal conditions and likely production outcomes
