Farmers with extensive fields and fields that are not easy to cover with a vehicle have a hard time getting a good view of the land to use for planning purposes. But the use of professional photographing drones allows farmers and others with land to get an aerial view of the whole property for use in planning. Drones can map out a field with all the rocks that need removing.

Getting an Overall Picture of One's Land

Farmers can suffer expensive equipment damage if they hit large rocks while planting or harvesting crops. But it can be a difficult task to walk large fields digging out and removing rocks. And even if they are removed one season, more rocks can come to the surface by the next season. As you drive or walk the surface of a field, it is difficult to see subtle differences that might mean mineral deposits or wet areas.

But an aerial photograph of the whole field in color can help identify rocks, low spots, spots that grass or crops are discolored or doing poorly, and so on. Seeing the whole field mapped out in color in aerial photographs can be very helpful in planning what to do with a plot of land. It can make rock picking easier because all the rocks will be mapped out. Mapping a field with professional drones for farmers can make farming easier and it can help the farmer save money and see problem areas to adjust fertilizer on, dry out, fill in, or remove rocks from.

Picking Rocks Using Drone Photography

Using drone services can be an advantage in land use planning and in locating problem areas or rocks to remove. What if cattle or farm animals are missing? Are there wild animals living on the land? A commercial drone equipped with a camera can photograph the whole plot of land and print out the photos on a computer to be viewed at the land owner's convenience. These photos are taken at a bird's eye view rather from an airplane high in the sky so even small details are clearly visible. Lost farm animals can be located, low spots noted, areas that crops are not doing well will show contrasted to healthy crops, etc.

Companies such as Mountain West Services can provide drones and professional operators to photograph plots of land, fields, and adjoining lands. The photos are fed into a computer and combined to form one overall picture of a landowner's holdings. Rock locations can be mapped for later removal.
