Abstract: One variation of a method for monitoring and supporting agricultural entities includes: accessing a loan application identifying a farm; accessing a satellite image representing a geographic region in which the farm is located; extracting a set of features from a region of interest—corresponding to the farm—in the satellite image; based on the set of features, identifying a crop present on the farm, estimating a land area of the crop on the farm, and estimating a yield per unit land area of the crop on the farm; accessing a production cost per unit land area planted and a market price of the crop in the geographic region; and estimating a productivity score of the farm based on the yield per unit land area, the production cost per unit land area, the market price, and the land area of the crop on the farm.
