Crop health imaging
A five-band camera pulls apart what the eye lumps together: hungry plants, thirsty plants, and plants already fighting something off.

Everything you asked
Answers before you have to ask twice
If your question is not here, ring the dispatch line and ask to speak with an agronomist rather than a salesperson.
+1 (000) 575-898Not one. The certificates sit with us, the ratings sit with our pilots, and every notice and waiver is filed on our side. You supply gate access and a boundary file, and that is the whole of it.
Wind holding above 15 knots, rain falling, or visibility under three miles. Imaging can still go up in weather that would stop a spray pass, so a hold rarely wipes out the whole day’s schedule.
Processed imagery and the ranked report are in Fieldline within six hours of the aircraft landing. Anything urgent gets a phone call the same afternoon rather than an email that sits unread.
Most of our contracts run exactly that way. They get their own Fieldline login and the authority to approve, rewrite or throw out any rate map before it goes anywhere near an aircraft.
Whichever suits you. Supply it yourself and we bill only for the flying. Ask us to source it and it passes through at cost with the supplier’s invoice attached — there is no margin on product.
We hold full aerial application liability, and every flight writes its own as-applied log. If there is a problem, that log reaches you before you have thought to ask for it.
How a contract runs
One order of operations, followed on every farm.
Nothing gets applied to a field we have not imaged first. Skip that step and you are back to paying for chemistry on acres that were already healthy.
01
Paperwork and perimeter
Send us boundaries and this year's plan. We clear airspace, log obstructions, note the neighbours who need warning, and file the operating notice.
- Boundaries imported from any GIS
- Waivers and notices handled by us
- Buffer distances fixed in writing
02
The reference flight
One full imaging pass builds the layer every later flight is compared against. Without it, week six is guesswork dressed up as data.
- 340 acres per battery cycle
- Imagery back inside six hours
- Zones ordered by severity
03
The rate map
An agronomist converts the imagery into a rate file, sends it over with the reasoning written out, and nothing is loaded until you reply.
- Shapefile or ISOXML delivered
- Product and volume costed
- Approve it, or mark it up
04
Apply, then confirm
The aircraft flies the map, and a follow-up pass a week later shows whether the crop actually responded. Then the cycle repeats.
- As-applied log for every acre
- Response check at 7 to 10 days
- Full season summary at harvest
What we put in the air
Six field jobs the sky handles better than the ground.
Take one on its own, or let the imaging drive the applications. The second arrangement is where the money usually shows up.
Map-led spraying
The boom opens where the map says pressure sits and closes everywhere else. Same load in the tank, considerably more ground behind you.
2 cm RTK · 8-nozzle boom
Overseeding & cover crop
Seed goes into standing corn, soft bottoms and grades no spreader will climb, without a wheel ever touching the ground.
40 kg hopper · 12 m swath
Emergence & yield math
Counts every plant between V2 and V4, then converts the stand into a yield figure solid enough to quote to a buyer.
±3% count accuracy
Water & heat mapping
A thermal sweep surfaces plugged emitters, pivot shadows and the low corner that goes under every wet April.
0.1 °C thermal delta
Storm & claim files
Hail, wind and flood damage packaged with time stamps, field boundaries and acreage totals adjusters sign off on.
Filed the same day
Give us the field that keeps letting you down.
We will fly it once at our cost, hand over the report in full, and leave the decision with you. Demo slots go out within ten working days right through the season.
