I'm a farmer, and I've been mistakenly using GIMP for years to prepare

You would probably be better served with GIS (Geographic Information System)
software such as GRASS GIS for Linux:

Generally agree ... GIMP is good for what it's good for
but the poster seems to need a GIS of some kind. GRASS
or QGIS are probably his best, and cheapest, move.
GIMP is for basic image manipulation on plain old raster image formats.
Attempting to shoehorn such a program into GIS analysis is just asking
for problems.
