How accurate are drones compared to traditional equipment?

Drones provide extremely precise application — typically a centimetres accuracy for mapping and spraying, ensuring less waste and better coverage.

What areas do you serve?

Some services are provided only in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia, however, we fulfill special drone services requests across Canada. Please contact us to discuss custom arrangements.

Spraying & Seeding

How many acres can you spray in a day?

With the DJI Agras drones, we can cover up to 1,500 acres per day, depending on field size, terrain, and application requirements

How do drones help reduce soil compaction?

Unlike tractors or ground rigs, drones never touch the soil — so they eliminate the risk of compacting wet fields or damaging crops.

Mapping & Monitoring

What is NDVI mapping, and why is it useful?

NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) shows crop health by detecting variations in chlorophyll levels. It helps farmers spot early signs of stress, pests, or poor irrigation before problems spread.

How quickly do I get results from drone mapping?

Most maps and reports are delivered within 24–48 hours after the flight, so you can make timely management decisions. 

Logistics & Pricing

How much does drone spraying cost?

Spraying typically ranges from $12–$14.50 per acre, depending on acreage size and frequency. Mapping and specialty services are priced per project. Please contact us for a custom quote. For clients who book us several times throughout the year, we offer special package deals, and larger farms can benefit from volume-based discounts.
