Mississippi & Arkansas Delta • Row-Crop NDVI Imaging
A single drone flight during boll development or bean flowering identifies fungal pressure, irrigation failure, and fertility deficiency weeks before yield loss is visible—and weeks before a ground scout walking the field would find it. That lead time is the difference between an input decision and a yield loss you're filing on.
Request information →Every scheduled flight delivers a complete set of standardized deliverables within 72 hours. No subscription platform to log into, no raw data to interpret yourself.
Color-coded field map showing crop health variation across every acre flown. Stress zones flagged and georeferenced.
Multispectral composite that reveals stress invisible to the naked eye or standard RGB photography.
High-resolution stitched aerial image of the entire field—usable for field records, landlord reporting, and insurance documentation.
Plain-language summary with flagged stress zones and location references—a targeted scouting roadmap for your boots-on-the-ground follow-up or your agronomist. Something you can hand to your adjuster at claim time.
Optional variable-rate application map compatible with FieldView, Granular, and Ag Leader—so stressed acres get the input, healthy acres don’t.
Multiple flights across the season build a change record that documents how your fields performed—valuable for crop insurance and next-year planning.
Fixed-price retainers for the growing season. You know the cost up front, flights are scheduled around your crop calendar, and you’re not paying for a flight you don’t need.
The imaging season runs May through September. Peak demand is July and August—when stress that hasn’t shown up visually is already costing yield.
| Crop | Critical Scouting Window | Best NDVI Flight Window | What You’re Catching |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soybeans | July – August | June – September | Flowering stress, sudden death, iron deficiency chlorosis |
| Cotton | July – August | July – September | Boll development stress, root rot, potassium deficiency |
| Corn | June – July | May – August | Pollination failure, gray leaf spot, nitrogen deficiency |
| Rice (AR Delta) | July – August | June – September | Heading stage stress, straighthead, blast pressure |
Variable-rate application based on NDVI prescription maps means stressed acres get the input and healthy acres don’t. On a 1,000-acre operation, that difference pays for the service.
Georeferenced, timestamped imagery from multiple flights across the season is the kind of documentation crop insurance adjusters want to see. A field summary and orthomosaic from July is worth more than a memory of what things looked like.
Prescription map exports are compatible with FieldView, Granular, and Ag Leader. If you have a trusted agronomist, he gets the same files—so the data works with the relationship you already have.
FAA Part 107 is required for commercial drone operations. It covers airspace regulations, weather, crew resource management, and radio communications. Not everyone flying a drone has it.
$1M aviation liability through Skywatch.AI plus separate E&O professional liability through BWI Aviation Insurance—covering both the flight and the data. Both policies active before the first paid flight.
Case studies underway on two operating row-crop farms—one in Mississippi, one in Arkansas—covering both target markets before the first client contract.
Photogrammetric processing runs on self-hosted infrastructure using WebODM—not a cloud subscription that adds cost and introduces a third party to your field data. Your imagery stays where it belongs.
Mid-season and late-season flight slots for the 2026 growing calendar are available now—and filling. If you’re farming 500 or more acres in the Mississippi or Arkansas Delta, reach out to discuss your operation and reserve your dates before the peak July–August window closes.
No pitch call. Just a conversation about what you’re growing, what you’re worried about, and whether this makes sense for your operation.
