Abstract

Soil Compaction Mapping From Tractor Telematics has moved quickly from a research idea to something a working farm can
actually use, but the evidence behind it has not always kept pace. We pull together the current evidence for soil compaction
mapping from tractor telematics, covering the methodological, practical, governance and cost angles, with an eye on where
practice has genuinely settled and where farms and advisors are still largely working it out for themselves. Selective,
context-specific adoption looks better supported by the evidence gathered here than either broad rollout or blanket avoidance.
