THIS IS YOUR OFF-SITE CROP ANALYTICS DEPARTMENT
Our Pitch.
You have a large field that you only check by driving or walking the perimeter. You're losing 10% of your yield to pests, nitrogen leaching, or irrigation leaks that are happening the middle of the field where you can't see them.
We Provide Data Driven Audits
Stand Count: Know exactly how many plants emerge per acre
Stress Detection: Identify failing crop before human eyes can detect them
Variable Rate Application: Know exactly where to put fertilizer
The Math
You expect 4 tons of wine grapes per acre at $3000 per ton (depending on grape type and quality), that's $12,000 per acre.
If the survey finds 3% error in your field, from drainage issues or nutrient deficiencies, that's $360 per acre back in your pocket. If the survey costs $60 per acre. You're netting a $300 per acre profit just by having better visibility on your vineyard.
Addressing Manual Labor
Manual Crop Scouting is slow and prone to human error
Instead of sending a guy to walk the fields for 10 hours to find what's happening, I'm giving you a digital database of your entire farm in 45 minutes. You aren't paying for a drone flight, you're paying to stop walking and start managing.
Overcoming "Everything looks fine"
Farmers often think they know their yield until an audit proves otherwise
The most dangerous inventory loss is the kind you don't know you have until harvest rounds up the season. By then it's too late to fix it. This survey lets you find the thief while he's still in the building.

Agricultural Drone Survey Applications
Precision Farming
Drone data arms farmers with actionable insights to optimize crop health and yield potential.
Proactive Health Checks: Provide an early warning system, revealing issues like plant stress, nutrient shortages, or disease long before they are visible to the naked eye.
Smarter Treatment Use: Instead of a uniform application, allow for a targeted approach. Precisely apply fertilizers, pesticides, and water only to the specific areas that need them, boosting efficiency and cutting waste.
Precise Weed Control: Tell the difference between your crops and weeds, allowing for highly targeted herbicide application that saves money and minimizes chemical use.
Orchard Surveys
Use detailed mapping to evaluate the health and productivity of individual trees within an orchard or plantation.
Canopy and Tree Health: Use Near-Infrared (NIR) data to accurately measure canopy density and identify underperforming or unhealthy trees within an orchard or plantation.
Early Pest and Disease Detection: Zero in on potential infestations or diseases in their early stages by analyzing Red Edge and thermal imagery, allowing for targeted intervention.
Predictive Yield Estimation: Utilize aerial drone data to forecast fruit yield by monitoring flowering and fruiting stages throughout the growing season.
Disaster Response and Recovery
Multispectral imagery is a powerful tool for enhancing long-term recovery efforts after disasters like floods, fires, and hurricanes.
Damage Assessment: Use multispectral data to quickly and accurately assess the extent of crop loss or infrastructure damage following a natural disaster.
Post-Fire Recovery: Monitor reforestation and vegetation regrowth after wildfires by analyzing specific light bands like Red Edge and NIR.
