Justin even sends screenshots of his DroneDeploy flight plans, which includes the area map, altitude and estimated flight time, to local crop dusters to avoid any airspace conflicts. He appreciates drones, and tools like DroneDeploy, for the simple workflows and actionable data that a single flight can produce.":1,"#Bowles Farming Company uses drone maps to detect pre-season drip irrigation leaks.":1,"#Create a variable rate map for a targeted respray of areas that weren’t drying as quickly.":1,"#With timely aerial data about plant health, Bowles Farming Company went into the harvest confident that they had correctly estimated the best date for picking cotton. This strategy saved money by minimizing strain on the cotton picker, and maximized the yield by collecting the most cotton fibers from the plants.":1,"#The accurate variable rate map that Justin created using drone data allowed him to precisely apply the second round of defoliant.":1,"#Objectives of the Drone Project":1,"#Justin imported the VARI map into John Deere Operations Center seamlessly from his DroneDeploy dashboard by using the My John Deere Export App.":1,"#Defoliant spraying is another $11–15 per acre, so for every acre we don’t have to spray, we increase our net profit for the harvest.":1,"#NDVI sentinel 2 satellite imagery of a section of Bowles Farming Company’s cotton fields. Justin uploaded the imagery into DroneDeploy, and also used the platform’s Side by Side app to visualize how the entire cotton crop was progressing.":1,"#Without comprehensive information about an entire field, it’s difficult to know if the defoliant is drying the cotton evenly — and exactly when it will be ready to harvest. To solve this problem, Justin mapped close to 3,200 acres of cotton fields with a DJI Inspire 1 Pro and an X3 camera.":1,"#Their 12,000 acre operation paired DroneDeploy with John Deere Operations Center to track their post-foliant cotton crop and generate a variable rate map for a targeted respray.

What he doesn’t know is when they are going to come up during the season. Now, we can see exactly when the issue is starting and how big it is, then create a plan to fix it.":1,"#Justin prefers using drones to generate highly-accurate aerial insights with centimeter per pixel accuracy. In the past, using traditional collection methods — such as manned aircraft imagery — for this purpose hasn’t been this detailed but gave you an overall snapshot. “With manned aircraft imagery, you have to make assumptions off of pretty pictures,” says Justin.":1,"#<strong ljsid-0=\"\">Generate variable rate map: </strong>Justin imported plant health information into John Deere Operations Center and could then create a variable rate map for precise re-spray of just the areas that needed it. The per-acre rate for the variable map was assigned according to the product used. They are also able to choose the appropriate material they need to apply based on how green the plants are and time left to until expected harvest date. Different products have different strengths, and days required for full affect. With those different strengths, comes different pricing.
