Advancing Communication, Cooperation and Collaboration in Agriculture
FieldWatch is a non-profit company with an online mapping registry that promotes communication between producers of specialty and row crops, beekeepers, seed companies and pesticide applicators in support of ongoing stewardship activities. With easy-to-use, reliable, secure and free mappings tools, FieldWatch is a trusted source of data in North America, promoting sustainability for plants, pollinators, people and planet.
Using our registries is simple: producers of specialty crops, organic or conventional (not herbicide tolerant) row crops, beekeepers, and seed companies map the locations of fields, apiaries or seed field workers using dedicated mapping tools. Pesticide applicators check for mapped locations before spraying to improve decision-making and manage potential pesticide drift.

We are a non-profit company that relies on donations and sponsors to support the ongoing operations and continued innovation of our stewardship tools. As a user of the system, it is absolutely FREE for producers and beekeepers to input and manage the data related to their operation and it is also absolutely FREE for our end-users, the applicators, to access the data. However, we encourage our users to become voluntary, dues-paying members if they would like to support the continued innovation and operation of FieldWatch. Voluntary membership is a means to generate revenue from companies, organizations and individuals who want to get involved and demonstrate their support of our environmental stewardship tool.
