Coming for the 2027 season
You can’t walk every acre every week. We fly a multi-spectral camera over your place that sees things your eye can’t — stressed grass, thin spots, and brush moving in — and turn it into a simple map you can actually use.
Pasture and crop mapping comes online alongside spraying in 2027. Here’s what it does and how it pairs with the sprayer.
What it does for you
The camera picks up grass that’s stressed or thinning before it’s obvious from the truck window — so you can deal with a problem while it’s still small.
We can pick out where mesquite and huisache are creeping in, even in the early stages — so you knock it back before it takes over a pasture.
Get a real read on how much forage a pasture is carrying, so you can plan your grazing and rotation instead of guessing.
The map shows us exactly where the brush is — so when it’s time to spray, we treat just those spots instead of the whole pasture. The flyover pays for itself by cutting your spray bill.
The map does more than show you problems — it aims the sprayer, so you treat the trouble and leave the good grass alone.
Backed by research
Multispectral cameras read near-infrared and red-edge light to show plant health, cover, density, and biomass — the basis for the NDVI mapping used across rangeland monitoring. University research has used the same imagery to tell brush species apart from native rangeland and track the herbicide’s effect afterward — the same survey-map-treat workflow we bring to your ground.

A map from the air is a decision tool, not a crystal ball. It’s at its best when we walk a little of your ground with you to check what the colors mean on your particular place — and we’ll always tell you straight when the picture is solid and when it needs a closer look on foot.
We use this to aim the spray work and manage grass, not to sell you a fancy report you’ll never open.
