The invention comprises a method for managing cropland, comprising the steps of: (1) optically measuring level zero data with an orbiting satellite, the level zero data comprising: first reflected cropland radiation, in a visible range of 400 to 1,000 nm; second cropland radiation in a near-infrared range of 1,000 to 3,000 nm; third radiation in a range of 3,000 to 5,000 nm; and emitted radiation, in a thermal infrared range of 8,000 to 12,000 nm; (2) processing, on-board the orbiting satellite, the level zero data comprising a first data storage size, to yield cropland condition information comprising a second data storage size of less than one percent of the first data storage size; (3) receiving from the orbiting satellite to a ground-based communication system the cropland condition information; and (4) relaying at least a portion of the cropland condition information to a farmer within twenty-four hours.
