1. A computer-implemented method of providing spatially-indexed agricultural content, the method comprising using a processor configured to:
receive search parameters for two or more spatial areas to be searched from an interactive display communicatively coupled to the processor, the search parameters for each of the two or more spatial areas to be searched comprising one or more of field coordinates, polygon coordinates, or GPS coordinates of a respective spatial area to be searched;
for each of the respective spatial areas, executing a geospatial search by identifying two or more fields from the search parameters using spatially-indexed agricultural content, wherein the agricultural content is spatially-indexed for each of a plurality of growing seasons according to geospatial boundaries of one or more of a plurality of fields for the plurality of growing seasons, the spatially-indexed agricultural content being stored in a spatially-enabled database according to a geospatial index, whereby geospatial boundaries of the agricultural content that overlap with geospatial boundaries of two or more fields of the plurality of fields results in the agricultural content being indexed to each of the two or more fields having such overlap, wherein the geospatial boundaries of at least one of the plurality of fields differs for at least one of the plurality of growing seasons; and
displaying simultaneously, results of the executed geospatial searches for each of the respective spatial areas searched, wherein the results comprise the indexed agricultural content corresponding to the identified two or more fields.
