Agricultural drone flying over a field

Drones · New capability

See your soil and your crops from the air.

NextGrow is bringing drone-based field intelligence to the platform — so farmers can check soil and crop health, spot moisture and stress, and target real soil testing where it matters most.

Why from the air

A whole field tells you what a single walk can’t.

Walking a farm shows you one row at a time. A drone pass shows the whole field at once — where the crop is thriving, where it’s struggling, and where the soil needs attention — so decisions are made on evidence, not guesswork.

Crop & farm health

Spot trouble before it spreads.

Aerial imagery reveals how a crop is doing across the whole field — healthy stands, weak patches and stressed areas that are easy to miss from the ground. Catching a problem early is the difference between a treated patch and a lost season.

  • Whole-field view of crop and farm health
  • Weak and stressed areas surfaced early
  • Check large or scattered plots without walking every row

Soil & moisture

Know your soil, and where it needs water.

Drone passes help map moisture and stress across a field, and point to the spots worth a proper soil test on the ground — so real testing is focused where it counts, and irrigation and inputs go where the soil actually needs them.

  • Moisture and stress mapping across the field
  • Target real, on-the-ground soil testing where it matters
  • Water and inputs directed to the areas that need them

Part of the platform

Insights that reach the farmer, not a filing cabinet.

Drone findings are meant to live where the rest of the farm does — tied to the plot record in the Farmers Edition and, where it helps, routed to an agronomist recommendation. So a reading in the field turns into a clear next step, not a report nobody reads.

  • Linked to the plot record in Farmers Edition
  • Can route to an agronomist recommendation
  • Findings become clear, practical next steps

Rolling out

Drone capabilities are being added to NextGrow.

We’re building this into the platform now. If aerial soil and crop intelligence would help your farms, talk to us about early access — we’ll be honest about what’s ready today and what’s coming next.
