Here’s how our process works:
Aerial Drone Surveys: Our drones conduct comprehensive flyovers of your fields, capturing imagery that highlights key indicators of crop health. These drones are capable of surveying large areas quickly and efficiently, giving you a full picture of your crop conditions.
Crop Analysis: Using industry-leading software, we analyze the data collected by our drones. We offer detailed reporting on essential metrics.
Actionable insights are returned to you in easy to read formats!
Pricing (Per Flight)
Standard Flight & Report: $5 per acre
Includes drone flight and any available crop health reports based on the plant's growth stage (e.g. stand count, weed detection, waterlogging).
Precision Data: $8 per acre
Includes everything in the standard package plus variable rate analysis, shapefiles, and data exports compatible with your ground equipment.
Early stand counts aren’t just about plant numbers — they’re about catching problems when you can still fix them. By identifying poor emergence, skips, or replant zones early, you avoid wasting inputs on underperforming acres and maximize the yield potential of your best ground. A timely stand count can easily pay for itself — often many times over.
Instead of spraying everything, we show you exactly where the weeds are building up and putting pressure on your crops. Save input, save time and don't spend product on clean ground.
Waterlogging kills roots. We hightlight the areas holding water so you can address them before your plants drown out.
Plant Vigor
Monitor the overall health of your crops with plant vigor reports that highlight areas of stress due to disease, pests, or nutrient deficiencies. These insights allow you to take corrective measures before problems spread.
Canopy Cover Assessment
Measure canopy coverage to assess plant health and ensure optimal growth. This is crucial for gauging crop success and planning harvest timelines.
Lodging & Green Snap (Late Season): As harvest approaches, we track lodging and green snap, helping you decide the best time to harvest and manage the risks posed by high winds or heavy rain.
Mapping & Irrigation Planning
Our drones, equipped with high-precision RTK technology, are invaluable for creating detailed maps that can be used for:
Field Boundary Mapping: Precise mapping ensures you can plan planting, irrigation, and land improvements with confidence, reducing inefficiencies.
Irrigation Planning: Using topographical and moisture data, we provide tailored irrigation maps, helping you apply water only where it’s needed, improving water usage efficiency.
Weather and Wildlife Damage Monitoring
Nature is unpredictable, but Crop Compass helps mitigate risks:
Weather Damage Reporting: Our drones can quickly survey your fields after severe weather events, documenting damage from hail, wind, or flooding. With our reports, you can assess crop losses and plan recovery strategies faster.
Wildlife Monitoring: Wildlife can cause significant damage to crops. Our drones can image paths of wildlife movement and detect damage, helping you take preventive measures or report losses for insurance purposes.
Insurance Reporting Made Easy
Accurate and timely data is critical when filing an insurance claim. Crop Compass provides highly detailed reports on crop damage from weather, wildlife, or other unforeseen events. With our tools, you can provide images and data to help get fair compensation for your losses.
