  • Patent number: 6401041
    Abstract: An automated graphical representation of agricultural information features entry of agricultural data through an Internet web page, preferably by outside resources such as county extension agents. The data is stored within a temporary table until validated. Once the data is verified, it is transferred to a main database, to be included as a part of the data available for third-party graphical representation. The agricultural data is displayed using colors representative of the status or condition of a characteristic that is being evaluated by an end-user. This is preferably done by selecting one pre-established and uniquely colored layer from several that are available, most preferably with the color corresponding to the status. The unique graphical representation allows a very diverse base of users to quickly and readily ascertain the agricultural information, while simultaneously being able to quickly compare the information from one region against another or against historical norms.
