Weekly pasture cover maps are calibrated to reflect paddock dry matter (kg DM/ha) across the farm. Drone mapping measures the entire paddock rather than sample points, providing consistent whole-farm coverage and reliable data for grazing and feed allocation decisions.

No. The weekly report gives paddock dry matter, farm average cover, and total feed available. Some farmers may still check visually, but most use the drone report as their primary grazing decision tool.

Most dairy farms choose weekly mapping during the main growing season. Flights are scheduled within a 7-day rolling window depending on weather conditions.

You receive a clear report showing:

Dry matter per paddock (kg DM/ha)

Farm average cover

Change since last week

Total feed available

Reports are easy to read and provided with a format that suits quick entry into your current farm management software.

Pasture mapping is charged per hectares flown each week, billed monthly.

This keeps pricing simple and aligned with farm size. Dairy farms pay a weekly per-hectare rate that covers flying, processing, and delivery of the full pasture report.

There are no setup fees or hidden charges - just consistent weekly service during the growing season.

Yes. Every square metre of the paddock is measured, rather than a walking line or sample points. This improves repeatability and confidence in week-to-week decisions.

Drone pasture mapping measures the entire paddock rather than sample points. While both methods are estimation tools, drone mapping provides consistent whole-farm coverage and repeatability week-to-week, supporting confident grazing and feed allocation decisions,

No. The service runs on a simple monthly arrangement.

You can stop with one month’s notice.

This keeps things flexible while allowing consistent weekly mapping and reporting during the season.
