Agriculture and Farming with Drones - Drone Deployment Services

Drone Deployment Services can provide aerial images of farm land real estate, analyze crop health, create custom prescription and thermal imaging. In addition, we can provide images of planted acreage, barn roof/silo inspection, stream feed changes/irrigation inspections, lost livestock, we offer versatility to meet many of our farmer’s needs.

Farm Land Real Estate

Analyze Crop Health

Soil Moisture Analysis

Farm Land Real Estate

Every piece of property is unique, and so should the marketing strategy you choose to use sell your land. Drone imaging can help properties stand out in a competitive market by utilizing the latest in drone technology. Whether it be still images, video, multiple overhead map images or even a 360-degree interactive panoramic view of your property. The size and uniqueness of agriculture real estate is definitely showcased through aerial imaging giving it the “wow” factor.

Crop Health Analysis/Custom Prescription/Crop Scouting

Through the use of multispectral imaging unseen stress of crop health can be detected long before the naked eye. Early intervention to correct the underlying issue will lead to improved crop yields. Custom prescriptions can be made to maximize efficient use of various applications and field inputs, while reducing operation costs. Crop scouting can be performed more efficiently and much faster. Problem areas can be identified with precise coordinates (survey grade accuracy) for soil sampling or weed management. The same benefits apply to management of tree farms, orchards and forestry.

Crop health indices can be generated to detect stress long before it can be seen with the human eye. Red indicates area of stress of a soy bean crop.

Custom prescription maps can be generated and the information can easily be downloaded to a combine for precision application of fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides. Precise application reduces cost, over spraying healthy crops, while practicing good stewardship to the health of the environment.

Crop scouting can be achieved more comprehensively, more thoroughly and much quicker than walking across endless fields, particularly during the late growing season. Image above revealed areas of Bur Cucumber weed.

Thermal Imaging for AG

Thermal images taken by a drone can help detect changes in vegetation temperature revealing crop disease, pests or other problems and allow you to respond timelier with solutions or preventative measures. Another use for thermal imaging is to aid in detecting drainage, irrigation problems, leaks or clogs in equipment by revealing the variations in ground temperature. If your land is powered by solar panels, it may be time for an inspection to ensure all cells are working efficiently. Thermal imaging can also be used to scout and/or search for rogue livestock.

Arrow indicates a hot spot during irrigation, resulting from block nozzle.

Thermal imaging can detect irrigation issues. Yellow and red areas indicate poor irrigation (low soil moisture).
