In
addition to yield maps and locating tile lines, we can use aerial
imagery to help improve your operation in a number of ways.
Images taken prior to the crops reaching full canopy can aid in locating
areas of high weed concentrations. Maps with this information can
help to create a spot-spraying plan.
In
season imagery can often locate areas of the field where crops are
struggling due to lack of moisture, excess moisture, nutrient availability,
weed or insect pressure, or other factors. We can quickly locate such
areas and provide maps in either paper or electronic form that can
be used to apply rescue treatments.
We
can also use aerial imagery to digitize your field boundaries. Send
us a Plat map with the field location clearly marked and a sketch
of the field outline, and we will use images from our archive
to digitize the field boundary. The accuracy for such boundaries rivals
that of boundaries created using a GPS receiver. Accuracy within one
or two tenths of an acre is standard.
