Benefits of Using Satellite Imagery on Your Farm

  1. Crop health monitoring
    Virtually monitor your entire farm and spot health variations that might not be visible from the ground.

  2. Precision agriculture
    Create highly detailed field maps showing differences in soil type, moisture levels, and crop performance—so you can act with accuracy.

  3. Yield prediction
    Use vegetation indices, like NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), which correlate strongly with biomass and expected yield.

  4. Water management
    Satellite data helps track soil moisture and crop water stress across your fields, allowing you to optimize irrigation—delivering water exactly where and when it’s needed.
