Latest Imagery
Drone farm mapping is certainly the best way to update your farm map. Satellite images on Google Earth are often several years old and subsequently out of date. A drone farm map will provide you an accurate picture of exactly how your farm looks on the day.
Farm Environmental Planning
Get your farm map up to date and loaded into your FEP to comply with the latest environmental regulations.
Contour Information
As the drone flies across your farm, it automatically detects the terrain of the land and provides us with the data to make a 3D image of your farmland. This is very helpful for identifying steeper areas that may be unsuitable for cropping, mowing, fertilizer spreading, or even grazing.
Additionally the contour information also enables us to calculate the areas within each paddock that are suitable for machinery to operate over. This can be anywhere with a slope less than 15-20 degrees, depending on your preference.
Accuracy
Compared to satellite imagery, which usually has a GPS (Global Positioning System) accuracy of 1 to 5 meters, our advanced surveying drones enabled with RTK (Real-Time Kinematics) have an accuracy of 1 to 3 cm.
Obviously, as more farm machinery becomes GPS-guided and automated in the future, the map accuracy of your farm is subsequently going to become more important.
Cost Effective
You may be thinking that Drone Farm Mapping is expensive, however we have found that our pricing is not that different from the more established farm mapping companies in NZ who only offer satellite imagery services.
Our pricing starts at $4.00 per hectare, plus a $500 base fee. Please get in touch if you would like to know more.
Other Mapping Services
Our advanced mapping drones are not limited only to farm mapping.
If you would like to get the latest aerial imagery of your asset, whether it’s a forestry block, orchard, commercial building, architecturally designed building, restoration project, or quarry, then get in touch with us and we will tailor a solution to fit your needs.
New Zealand Wide Service
We have bases in the Bay of Plenty, Wakaito and Canterbury and are happy to go the extra mile to get your farm mapped.
What You'll Recieve
Our standard farm mapping package includes PDF copies of the standard farm map, contour map and the aerial image of your farm. We also include the digital shapefile of your paddocks which we can send to your fertiliser company or council.

Farm Environment Plan
An accurate and up to date map is critical for Farm Environmental Planning. Understand your critical sources and how they interact with the larger ecology and environment.
Freshwater Farm Plan
Understanding your farm's contour is an essential part of a Fresh Water Farm Plan. Knowing the slope angle of hillsides allows for better decision making and land use classification.
Whiteboards
Getting your farm map printed onto a whiteboard is a great way to utlilise your map. Draw on break fences, explain to staff where to feed out or to set up an irrigator.
