In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method of selecting sampling locations in a field is disclosed. The method comprises receiving, by a processor, input data including a map for a management zone in a field indicating one or more values of a set of agricultural characteristics for each of a plurality of locations in the management zone. The method further comprises identifying, by the processor, a set of values for the set of agricultural characteristics for each of a group of locations in the management zone based on map. In addition, the method comprises normalizing a set of model values for the set of agricultural characteristics used by an agricultural modeling tool and the set of values of the set of agricultural characteristics for each of the group of locations in the management zone. The method also comprises selecting one of the group of locations as a sampling location based on the normalized set of model values, the normalized sets of values for the group of locations, and a first distance constraint related to a distance to a boundary of the management zone. Finally, the method comprises causing display of information regarding the selected location.
