Agricultural Services

Target Surveys is proud to be working within the UK agriculture sector to help farmers improve their productivity, make more informed decisions and ultimately, increase their crop yield. 

Drones bring a plethora of benefits to agriculture. They can cover acres at a quicker speed than ever before, mapping highly accurate and detailed images in the process – including variables in moisture in the soil, distribution of weeds, chlorophyll content and so much more. 

Farmers can receive all of the information from the drone via an already encoded map that can then simply be uploaded to machinery, allowing for greater precision and results. 

Not only is this faster and more effective than traditional farming methods, but it also reduces cost and increases profit – for it allows you to monitor your crops more closely and ensuring your crops remain healthy and your yield is as big as possible.

Our drone services allow us to create highly detailed images of crops, land and orchards, delivering crucial information to farmers with greater speed and efficiency than ever before. 

• Crop Health

• • Our drones can collect essential data and process it using cloud software providing you with elevation models, Neutral Density Vegetation Index (NDVI) and 3D imagery. This can help you monitor your crops to improve their health and yield.

• Crop Scouting

• • Currently, farmers are highly reliant on ground-based data, which despite being accurate, is slow, cumbersome and highly inefficient. Our drones can cover the ground much faster than traditional methods – allowing you to capture the information you need in a fraction of the time. Helping you not only achieve better yields but also estimate them in a more accurate manner. 

• Crop Irrigation 

• • Our drones are equipped with thermal imaging cameras allowing them to identify irrigation issues or areas of land that might need watering more frequently. 

• Disease Detection

• • Our drones are equipped with a multispectral scanner allowing them to produce data within the NDVI spectrum and identify in-field variations and potential problems with your crop. 
  • This allows you to monitor the health of your crops more efficiently, allowing for easier disease detection and improved chances of survival.

• • GPS Mapping
    • Our drones can create and map GPS routes compatible with most spreaders and combine harvesters – allowing for more productive field mapping.
  • Cost reduction
  • • Previously, these kinds of services were reliant on the hiring of a small aircraft, satellite technology, or many man-hours on the ground. All of which are less efficient and more unreliable in comparison to our drone services. 
    • Most drones can cover around 25 acres of land in ~30 minutes, so you can spend your time concentrating on the areas of your farm that matter. Not only is the more accurate, faster and reliable than the traditional methods, it is also a fraction of the cost.
