1. An agricultural modeling system for processing data for an agricultural geographic area, the agricultural modeling system comprising:
a scanning platform configured to generate three-dimensional (3D) point cloud data of the agricultural geographic area;
a geospatial database configured to store at least one data layer for the agricultural geographic area and having a resolution less than or equal to the 3D point cloud data of the agricultural geographic area; and
a computing resource in communication with the scanning platform, a plurality of client devices, and the geospatial database, the computing resource configured to
geographically reference the at least one data layer fused with the 3D point cloud data of the agricultural geographic area, and
generate a multi-layered data model for the geographically referenced at least one data layer fused with the 3D point cloud data of the agricultural geographic area;
a given client device from the plurality of client devices and configured to
upload an additional data source and a programming code script to the computing resource, the computing resource configured to geographically reference and fuse the additional data source and the 3D point cloud data of the agricultural geographic area, and
selectively render the multi-layered data model including the additional data source based upon the programming code script, the multi-layered data model being unique to the given client device.
