Ground truth for a block you cannot walk every week.
Aerial survey for growers and land managers, covering vigour mapping, stand assessment and change tracking across blocks too large to inspect on foot as often as they change.
Multispectral and visual
Zone and change maps
Through the season
Fields are too big to walk at the rate they change
The problem with scouting a large block on foot is not that it does not work. It is that it does not scale to the frequency the crop actually changes at. You walk a transect, you see what is on that transect, and the part of the field with the developing problem is often not on it.
Flying the block covers all of it, every time, in a fraction of the time on the ground. Multispectral capture shows relative vigour across the whole area, visual capture shows stand and condition, and repeating the same flight through the season turns single observations into a record of what is changing and where.
What you get
Whole-block vigour mapping from multispectral capture
High-resolution visual imagery for stand, gaps and general condition
Zone maps highlighting consistently underperforming areas
Flight-over-flight and season-over-season change comparison
Drainage and topography context from a surface model where it is useful
Georeferenced outputs that load into mapping software you already use
How it works
Agree the question and the cycle
What you need to see decides when to fly. Stand assessment, in-season stress and pre-harvest condition are separate flights, not one flight read three different ways.
Set the block up once
Boundaries, obstructions and airspace are handled once, so every subsequent flight repeats the same pattern and stays comparable to the ones before it.
Fly through the season
The block is captured on the agreed cycle under calibrated conditions, so each pass can be compared with the last rather than only read on its own.
Deliver for decisions
Maps and imagery are handed over in a format your agronomist or operations team can act on, with the underlying data available rather than locked inside a viewer.
Common questions
Will this replace scouting?
No, and treating it that way would be a mistake. It tells you where to scout. The map narrows a whole block down to the areas that warrant somebody standing in them, which is a different job from walking a transect and hoping it was representative.
What size of operation is this worth it for?
It stops making sense when a block is small enough to walk properly at the frequency it needs. Above that, the value comes from covering all of it every time rather than sampling part of it.
Do you provide agronomic recommendations?
No. We capture and process the data, and it is built to hand to whoever advises you on the crop. Making a spray or nutrition call from imagery alone, without knowing the ground and the season, is not something we will do.
