Crop health imaging
A five-band camera pulls apart what the eye lumps together: hungry plants, thirsty plants, and plants already fighting something off.
1.2 cm/px · NDVI, NDRE, thermal
Every job we fly
Scoped, priced and flown one field at a time
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
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
41%
Less product going out per treated acre once the boom answers to a map rather than a timer.
Application, by the map
A blanket pass bills you for acres that were never sick.
Cover a field wall to wall and your worst corner and your cleanest strip get exactly the same treatment. On most ground that means a third of the tank lands on plants that were fine to begin with.
-
Rate answers to the map
Flow climbs inside a flagged zone and drops to nothing over headlands, drains and buffer strips, without anyone touching a control.
-
Nothing rolls across the soil
No tracks, no pinch rows, no compaction. In a wet spring that is often the only way a field gets treated on time at all.
-
Spray stays on your side of the fence
Rotor wash pushes droplets down into the canopy, and each pass records wind speed, heading and nozzle state as it goes.
-
A record worth handing over
Acre-by-acre proof of product, place and time — ready for your agronomist, your grain buyer or an organic certifier.
Ground we cover
Every crop wants a different flight plan.
Height, overlap, droplet size and timing all shift with what is growing underneath. These are the systems we have logged enough hours in to quote without hedging.
Grain & row crop
Corn, soy, wheat and cotton at scale, with passes booked against growth stage rather than a date on the wall.
Our largest book
Tree fruit & vines
Coverage down between rows and over trellis, where a ground rig bruises fruit and never quite reaches the top third.
Grades to 28°
Rice & wet ground
Work carried out over standing water with no rutting, no levee repair afterwards and no three-day wait to dry.
Nothing on the soil
Pasture & range
Brush and invasive weeds knocked back plant by plant across country a crew would need a full week to walk.
Spot work only
Turf & sod
High-value surfaces where a single wheel mark is a defect and even coverage is the entire product being sold.
2 cm accuracy
Forestry & recovery
Seeding burn scars, steep faces and riverbank replanting, on ground no machine has any business being on.
Aerial seeding
What it costs
Charged by the acre. No aircraft to own.
Product and seed pass through at cost with the supplier invoice attached. Two hundred acres is the smallest contract we take; anything under that we quote job by job.

Common ground
The things every grower asks us first.
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.
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.
