Agriculture, Forest & Land Stewardship

Service Description

At Northcove Visuals, we understand the challenges faced by growers in the agriculture industry. Our solutions help maximize economic production by providing insightful perspectives on weather patterns, land movement, and environmental obstacles. With our expertise in capturing and presenting data over vast acres of land, we empower growers to make informed decisions that drive cost savings and enhance productivity. With agriculture drone services, growers can: -Increase crop yields by monitoring multiple issues affecting plant health and growth. -Quickly find and address crop disease, infestation, or poor irrigation not seen in ground-level checks. Analysis tools such as normalized differential vegetation indexing (NDVI) help you zero in, compare, and adjust conditions to maximize yield. -Leverage topographical, thermal, and spectral mapping to monitor and assess crop health faster with more precision over large land areas. -Perform soil & field analysis to assess moisture and fertility levels, identifying irrigation and nitrogen management actions needed to reduce waste. -Plant more efficiently by gathering visual data that maps the terrain and collects information about the topography and soil. -Manage irrigation with a comprehensive and accurate lay of the land. Aerial photography makes it easy to identify slopes and drainage, and drones with thermal cameras can detect both dry and wet ground, allowing farmers to adjust irrigation as needed. With aerial drone photography, land stewards can: -Formulate an effective land management plan that considers boundaries, forest stands, wood species, biodiversity, and more. -Create fully comprehensive maps of parcels, ensuring every acre is included in the land management plan. -Predict and mitigate disasters such as forest fires, landslides, and ecological disease by gathering visual data otherwise unobtainable by ground-level or naked-eye assessments. -Gather marketing photos and video for land to be sold. -Conduct due diligence for aid program applications such as the Forest Stewardship Program, the Landowner Assistance Program, or USDA assistance programs. Livestock Management Producers, ranchers, and cattle herders often use aerial photography drone services to execute Precision Ranching strategies. The data captured by aerial footage helps maximize the land’s resources and the producer’s efficiency, ensuring a more robust herd, new cost-savings, and smarter business decisions based on reliable data.
