AGRICULTURAL AERIAL DATA ACQUISITION
Providing accurate drone data to improve the efficiency of your farm
SERVICES
NDVI (Plant Health)
Assess large areas quickly and efficiently to detect problems before they are even visible to the naked eye.
​
Normalized Difference Vegatative Indexing (NDVI) is the most common tool used in analyzing crop health. We recommend NDVI surveying with our advanced NIR equipment as part of a multi-date monitoring plan primarily in the early- to mid-growth season.
Elevation
Evaluage drainage tile effectiveness or map your fields for potential drainage issues. You will be able to see a visual map showing exactly what your field looks like from above, as well as elevation maps that provide heights at different locations and more valuable information for long-term agricultural management.
​
This mapping is ideally done over a bare field, in the late fall, winter, or early spring. We also recommend you compare this data with an NDVI map during the growing season.
Stand Count
We can provide accurate stand counts for your entire field, without any guessing. At the start of the growing season, there is absolutely no better application for drone use than to automate your stand counts.
​
After providing basic information about your field, we program automated flights to capture the data, and specialized analysis software will provide an accurate, detailed report is available 36 to 48 hours later.

- Additional Tools Available
One flight can provide enough data to create an NDVI Plant Health Map, an Aerial Imaging Map, Elevation Charts, and More.
Better data.
Better yeilds.
When a plant is dehydrated or stressed, the leaves reflect less NIR light, but the same amount of visible light. This makes potential problem areas visibly identical to a healty crop for the naked eye. Luckily, there is a quick and easy solution:
Using our multispectral sensoring equipment, we are able to show truly accurate NDVI maps that will indicate the true health of your field. You can then compare this information against an image map from the same flight to look for potential causes. A quick ground-truthing can then provide the information you need to fix the problem before it affects your yields.
​
All data is stored and available for you to access at any time to compare throughout the season or annually.
