Sourcing areas on a map
Each crushing plant with its sourcing radius and the soybean fields inside, over current imagery.
SoyTrace by Earthline
Every soybean field around every crushing plant.
SoyTrace draws each plant's sourcing area and maps the soybean fields inside it — field by field, with eight seasons of crop history — so you can see what supplies each facility.

What you see
A sourcing area, measured field by field.
Crop history per field
What every field grew in each of the last eight seasons — rotation, continuous soybeans, recent conversions.
Statistics you can compare
Field counts, soybean area, field sizes, top counties and states — per plant and across all plants.
In context
From the field to the elevator.
Elevators, rail lines and the river system sit on the same map as the fields, so you can follow how soybeans move from each catchment towards the plant — and see how much of the crop lies within reach of rail or barge, where hauling costs far less than by truck.
How it works
From a facility list to a workspace.

Your facilities
Share the plants in scope and how far each sources from.
- 2
Fields and history
We assemble public field boundaries and yearly crop maps for every sourcing area, plus the points and layers you add.
