Drone mapping that ends
in a prescription, not a picture.
FarmTech processes multispectral drone imagery into actionable variable-rate maps — weed-control Rx, nitrogen scouting, field anomaly detection. Fly with your own equipment or hire our certified pilot.
Two ways to get it done
Whether you already own a multispectral drone or want a certified FarmTech pilot in the field, the end result is the same — processed maps delivered into FarmIQ™, compatible with your application equipment.
FarmIQ Drone Mapping
$1.50/ac
Fly your own multispectral drone. Upload imagery through FarmIQ™ — we handle processing, zone analysis, and prescription generation. Weed-control Rx maps, nitrogen variability, and field anomalies delivered in hours. Equipment-compatible files for Trimble, Topcon, John Deere, CNH.
Drone Pilot Hire
$250/hour
Certified FarmTech pilots with professional multispectral equipment, flying for you. We handle the flight planning, mission execution, and full data pipeline. Maps delivered directly into FarmIQ™. You show up to the result — no equipment to own, no training required.
What the data becomes
Raw multispectral imagery isn't useful on its own. FarmTech processes it into deliverables your operation can act on immediately.
- Weed-control prescription maps — identify weed pressure zones and generate variable-rate herbicide Rx compatible with your sprayer controller
- Nitrogen variability maps — RedEdge-calibrated biomass and chlorophyll maps layered against your FarmIQ™ soil data for targeted topdress decisions
- Field anomaly detection — catch stand failures, drainage issues, compaction zones, and disease pressure before you drive out to look
- FarmIQ™ integration — maps land inside your FarmIQ platform automatically, alongside your soil and satellite data
- Equipment-compatible files — Topcon TAP, Trimble Ag Software, John Deere Operations Center, CNH AFS — delivered in the format your field computer reads
- Same-day turnaround — imagery processed and prescription maps ready within hours of the flight
Flown by our own pilots
FarmTech has two certified drone pilots on staff, flying a DJI Mavic 3M multispectral. Every mission is planned, flown, and processed by the same team that handles your soil and agronomic data — so drone imagery doesn't sit in isolation, it gets interpreted alongside the rest of your fields' picture.
What we fly for
- Weed mapping in cropland — pressure zones to variable-rate herbicide Rx
- Weed mapping in rangeland — target invasive patches across big country
- Nitrogen and biomass scouting for topdress decisions
- Stand, drainage, and anomaly checks before you drive out to look
