In this paper, the current state of the soil cover on the basis of remote sensing materials of the Earth on the example of Shcherbakinsky rural settlement of Sargatsky district of Omsk region was studied. The studied area is located in the forest-steppe zone of Western Siberia. In the paper multispectral images of the space vehicle (SV) Landsat 8 (USA), with a resolution of 30 m per pixel was used. These images allow monitoring of the Earth's surface at intervals of once every 16 days with an approach area of 185 km in nadir. Computer processing of a series of multispectral space images (MSI) by synthesis method was carried out using the licensed software package ENVI 5.0. (manufactured by ESRI). The work used outdated cartographic materials of 1984, obtained in the Department of Agriculture of the Sargat District. When creating the electronic cartographicdocument of the studied area (based on satellite data), the digital basis of agricultural lands was initially created. Digitization of obsolete material was carried out in the software package QGis (QGIS Desktop). For the first time for the territory of the forest-steppe zone of Western Siberia with the use of different-time images by a space vehicle LANDSAT 8, the spatial-temporal change in the structure of agricultural lands over the past twenty-five years was revealed. The work was carried out in the framework of research commissioned by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Omsk Region: "Development and technology implementation for the introduction of unused land in the Omsk region".
