OG exemplary drawing
 
1. A method comprising:
determining, by a processing unit, an indication of a geographic region, wherein the indication of a geographic region is a shape drawn on a map presented within a GUI of a user device;
receiving, by a processing unit, field data comprising geospatial boundaries of one or more fields within the geographic region;
receiving, by a processing unit, management event data comprising one or more management events located within the one or more fields;
receiving, by a processing unit, for each management event, a management event boundary defining geospatial boundaries corresponding to at least a portion of the one or more fields; and
determining, by a processing unit, one or more management zones based on the management event boundaries, wherein determining one or more management zones based on the management event boundaries comprises:
sequentially intersecting, by a processing unit, a geospatial boundary defining a contiguous region wherein management zones are being determined with each management event boundary occurring within that contiguous region, wherein each of the sequential intersection operations creates two branches: one with the intersection of the geometries and one with the difference, wherein this process is repeated for all management event boundaries that occurred in the geospatial boundary defining the contiguous region, wherein a final set of leaf nodes in this branching process define the geospatial extent of the set of management zones within the contiguous region, wherein each management zone is non-overlapping and each individual management zone contains a unique set of farming practices relative to any other management zone within the contiguous region.
