60% of all water used in agriculture is wasted, resulting in lost profits and poor margins. We can help determine where your water is going using 3d maps of your property to help eliminate uneven ground. In this example, you an clearly see the difference in ground level. Red is equivalent to higher altitudes and blue is lower elevations. Just from looking at this image, you can see that this farmer will need to water the upper right hand corner of his field much more often to compensate for the runoff. This is not possible though without slightly over-watering the crops in the lower left hand corner. Drones illuminate which field sections need to be leveled for the next crop rotation.

FarmFlight 3d map terrain model

How It works
The drone uses GPS to fly over the field in a lawn mower pattern, taking pictures that overlap by ~80%. When all of these images are stitched together, they form an orthomosaic map that is able to be converted into a 3d rendering. This shows the subtle contouring of the field and illuminates low and high spots that could cause issues in providing even watering to large areas of land.
What Makes Farm Flight Special?
|
Satellite imagery is fairly popular among farmers. Similar services allow for pictures to be taken of crops daily. There are some key differences though:
Accuracy Farm Flight is 40 times more accurate than traditional mapping services. With our state of the art software, it is possible to see individual heads of corn. Cost Farm Flight is cheaper than other satellite and drone mapping services. On average, we cost 30% less per acre than other businesses while offering GPS imagery at 40 times more accurate than satellite services. We have optimized our business model to cut costs for the client and keep our services affordable. Our goal is to help farmers maximize their profits in an environmentally friendly way. By knowing where problem areas are, clients can change watering regimens during planting seasons and check fertilization levels in the winter to maximize profits without over pumping and over saturating fields. This includes access to the Drone Deploy app, where you can view and manipulate the images to find important information relating to your crops. Diagnostics Our service does not only provide the data needed to optimize your farm, we also help you understand how to implement the data we provide. Whether it is a phone call or email, we will provide personalized information on your fields marking problem areas so you don’t miss anything. We provide real time support to aid you in making the most out of our service. |
