Project Overview

A 2,400-acre arable farm growing winter wheat, oilseed rape, and sugar beet. DroneVision conducted a full-season precision agriculture program including multispectral NDVI mapping, irrigation audits, and variable-rate prescription map generation.

The Challenge

The farm had experienced three consecutive years of below-average yields despite normal rainfall, with no clear diagnosis from ground-level scouting. The client needed data-driven insights to identify root causes and justify input expenditure.

Our Solution

We flew monthly multispectral missions throughout the growing season, generating NDVI, NDRE, and thermal indices. Analysis revealed two significant issues: a drainage failure affecting 340 acres and a soil compaction zone suppressing root development in the wheat fields.
