Does it record the weather?

Yes, PropelMapper looks up the weather at a place for the time of your visit and can add it to the report as a Field conditions section.

Place data for Creek Bottom (Corn): field facts with soil, rotation and NDVI, today’s conditions with the spray verdict, and the week’s forecast
Example account: Prairie Agronomy.

On the draft report, choose Add to report, then Weather. PropelMapper looks up the temperature, rain, wind and humidity at that place for the visit’s time window, plus the rain over the previous seven days. NDVI and soil snapshots can go in next to it.

That snapshot is saved inside the report. Open the report next spring and it shows the numbers from the visit, not today’s weather fetched again. The conditions are looked up for the place, not measured by an instrument at your stop.

The mobile app captures notes, photographs and readings without service, and they upload when you reconnect. Adding weather to a draft needs a connection, the same as transcription, drafting and sending.

The advisor still interprets the field evidence. Weather helps answer a question about wet or dry conditions, and the report keeps that context apart from what you saw, what you measured and what the grower told you.

Where weather fits in the visit

In the web app, each visit shows its weather and conditions, and the report can include a Field conditions section. Each place’s Site data tab also shows the current conditions and the days ahead next to its soil and NDVI, which is enough to tell a walking day from a spraying day.

Keep a field measurement separate from looked-up weather. If you measure standing water, rainfall from a farm gauge or a canopy condition, record it as a note or a reading with its unit. The report then shows what you measured on site apart from the weather section.

What weather adds to a report

Yellow corn in a photo reads differently after a wet week than after a dry spell. An adjuster, a lender or a grower who reads the report months later wants to know which it was, and the Field conditions section answers that. Weather does not diagnose crop injury or show the state of a buried drainage line, so your note says what the visit showed and what is still uncertain.

The section holds those values for the visit window. It is not a station log or a compliance record. If you rely on a station record from another source, name the source and the date in your note so the reader knows where it came from.
