HUD Guide

The soil HUD is a live overlay that shows nutrient levels for the field you are currently standing in or driving through.

Reading the HUD

The HUD panel shows five rows:

Field 3
N  ████████░░  42 ppm   Fair
P  ██████░░░░  27 ppm   Fair
K  █████████░  160 ppm  Good
pH ████████░░  6.8      Good
OM ████████░░  3.8 %    Fair

Each bar represents the internal 0–100 value scaled to display as agronomic PPM or real units:

Value Display unit Good threshold
Nitrogen ppm (plant-available N) > 150 ppm
Phosphorus ppm (Mehlich-3) > 27 ppm
Potassium ppm (Mehlich-3) > 160 ppm
pH pH units 6.5–7.0
Organic Matter % > 4.0 %

Status labels:

  • Good — no action needed
  • Fair — monitor; consider fertilizing before the next crop
  • Poor — action needed; yield may be affected

Yield forecast

When standing in a field with a growing crop, the HUD shows an estimated yield penalty based on current nutrient levels and the crop's sensitivity tier:

Tier Crops Penalty scale
Tolerant Barley, oats, sunflower, rye, sorghum Mild
Moderate Wheat, canola, maize, triticale, peas, beans Standard
Demanding Potato, sugar beet, soybean Severe

A combined nutrient deficit below 70% of optimal triggers the penalty calculation. Maximum penalty is capped at 50%.

HUD position

Five position presets are available in Settings:

Option Location
Top Right Default

HUD not showing a field

If the HUD shows no field data, you are either:

  • Standing between fields (not on a recognized field polygon)
  • On a field that has not yet been scanned (rare — try moving to a different part of the field)
  • On a field you do not own (HUD still shows data for all fields regardless of ownership)
