Crop scouting log template
This blank CSV scouting log has one row per observation: date, field, crop and stage, where in the field you looked, what you saw, a count or severity, a photo reference, the action or follow-up and who scouted. It records what you observed; it does not identify pests or recommend a treatment.
agriintel-crop-scouting-log.csv · CSV (UTF-8) · 13 columns, header row only · no formulas or macros · no email or account needed. Opens in Excel, Google Sheets, LibreOffice or Numbers.

What goes in each column
The last column says whether the AgriIntel app has a matching input today. Template-only columns are there because they are useful on paper, not because the app records them.
| Column | What to write | In the AgriIntel app |
|---|---|---|
| Date (YYYY-MM-DD) | The day the work was done, written year-month-day so it sorts correctly. | In the app: Date |
| Field | The field name or legal land description you use day to day. | In the app: Field name |
| Crop | The crop on the field this season. | In the app: Crop, saved on the field |
| Crop stage | The crop stage on the day. | Template only: No crop stage field; add it to Notes |
| Location in field | Where you looked: a landmark, a corner of the field or GPS coordinates. | Template only: No location field for a record; add it to Notes |
| Observation type | Weeds, insects, disease, crop condition or other. | Template only: Saved as a scouting record; add the type to Notes |
| What you saw | A plain description of what you found. | In the app: Notes |
| Count or severity | A count, or a rating on a scale you keep the same all season. | Template only: No separate field; add it to Notes |
| Photo reference | The file name or number of any photo, kept on your phone or computer. | Template only: The app does not store photos |
| Area scouted (ac) | Acres walked or checked. | In the app: Acres covered |
| Action or follow-up | What you decided to do next, if anything. | Template only: No separate field; add it to Notes |
| Follow-up date (YYYY-MM-DD) | When to look again. | Template only: No reminders in the app |
| Scouted by | Who did the scouting. | Template only: No scout field; add a name to Notes |
Record observations, not diagnoses
Write what you saw and where, in words someone else could follow back to the same spot. A log is a record of observations: confirm an identification with an agronomist or a provincial crop specialist before acting on it, and follow the product label for any treatment.
Photos
The Photo reference column holds the file name or number of a photo you keep elsewhere, so the picture and the row can be matched later. AgriIntel does not store photos with scouting records.
Keep examples out of your real records
The download is blank. The filled row on this page is invented to show the format; do not copy it into your own log.
How this differs from the AgriIntel app
In AgriIntel a scouting record is a dated entry on a field, with optional acres covered and free-text notes of up to 2,000 characters. The app does not store photos, crop stages, pest identifications or follow-up reminders, and it does not diagnose problems or recommend treatments.
AgriIntel does not import this file, and neither the template nor the app is an official or regulatory record. Weather and alerts in the app apply to the farm's location, not to individual fields.

Prefer to keep records with your farm's weather?
AgriIntel keeps dated field records next to each farm's forecast, spray windows and frost, heat and wind alerts. Plans are in Canadian dollars with a 14-day free trial.
