Benefits of Using Satellite Imagery on Your Farm
1. Crop health monitoring:
Satellite imagery provides a bird's-eye view of your entire farm, allowing you to spot variations in crop health that might not be visible from the ground.
2. Precision agriculture:
By analyzing satellite data, you can create precise maps of your fields showing variations in soil type, moisture levels, and crop performance.
3. Yield prediction:
Satellite-derived vegetation indices, such as NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index), correlate strongly with crop biomass and potential yield.
4. Water management:
Satellites can detect soil moisture levels and crop water stress across your entire farm. This information helps optimize irrigation schedules, ensuring water is applied where and when it's most needed
