1. A system comprising:
a first nitrogen applicator farming machine configured to move through a field that includes a plurality of field portions and apply nitrogen to each field portion;
a second nitrogen applicator farming machine configured to move through the field and apply additional nitrogen to each field portion;
a harvester farming machine configured to move through the field, harvest plant parts in each field portion, and generate crop yield data associated with the plant parts; and
a server system instructed to:
determine amounts of nitrogen applied to each field portion by the first and second nitrogen applicator farming machines,
access crop yield data generated by the harvester farming machine,
determine, by analyzing the crop yield data, plant part metrics corresponding to the harvested plant parts for each field portion,
generate a crop yield component map that maps, for each field portion, a plant part metric associated with the field portion and an amount of nitrogen applied to the field portion, and
providing a segment of the crop yield component map for display, wherein the displayed segment of the crop yield component map includes, for at least one field portion, the plant part metric associated with the at least one field portion, and the amount of nitrogen applied to the at least one field portion.
