2021-07-05 Precision Farming Soilmap
2021-07-05T09:53:00Z New editing day has started, todays goal is two fold, first write a precision farming paint soil type image in GIMP tutorial and then to paint such image for PMC Iowa Garden City 8km, lets get to work 
PMC Farming website already has soil types precision farming tutorial page, but this has no fancy GIMP painting info other than the RGB 1,1,1 colors, I want to add full tutorial how to get very nice soil map painted in GIMP. So I created Soil Types Painting in GIMP for Precision Farming tutorial page.
It was bizarre feeling recording FS19 terrain dev diary video while writing farming-simulator.org terrain tutorial.
2021-07-05T10:28:00Z First draft of the tutorial page was written (copy pasted from PMC local notes) and GIMP_precision_farming_soil_types.xcf image done.
2021-07-05T10:40:00Z Used _run_graphicsmagick_create_soilmap.bat to create precision farming soilmap with graphicsmagick. Its now 1024 x 1024 pixel resolution which sucks, but hey its giants hardcoded stuff, 2048 or larger wont work, so yeah 
Downloaded latest precision farming for testing this new soilmap of ours, edited the sampler vehicle for 50km radius. Then it was in-game testing time.
