Aerial Spraying
Drone spraying uses advanced unmanned aircraft to precisely apply herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and foliar products. By flying low and targeting specific areas, drones provide an efficient alternative to traditional ground rigs or manned aircraft, especially in fields that are wet, difficult to access, or at risk of crop damage from ground equipment.
With no wheel tracks and no crop trampling, drone applications help protect yield potential while providing accurate rate control and consistent coverage. Drones can also reach irregular fields, terraces, waterways, and other areas where conventional equipment may struggle to operate.
Whether treating an entire field or targeting problem areas, aerial spraying provides a fast, flexible, and precise application option designed to get products where they’re needed while minimizing unnecessary crop disturbance.
Cover Crop Seeding
Drone seeding is one of the most efficient ways to establish cover crops, especially when seeding into standing corn or soybeans before harvest. Broadcasting seed from above allows cover crops to be established without waiting for harvest or bringing equipment through a standing crop.
Pre-harvest seeding gives cover crops a head start, allowing seed to reach the soil and begin establishing earlier in the fall. That extra growing time can improve fall growth, increase ground cover, and help maximize the benefits of cover crops before winter. It also removes the pressure of trying to seed immediately after harvest when weather, field conditions, and time can become limiting factors.
With no soil compaction, no crop damage, and no ruts left behind, drones can seed wet or difficult-to-access fields while standing crops are still in place. It’s a fast, flexible way to extend the seeding window and give your cover crop the best opportunity to get established.
Crop Health Analysis
Crop health analysis uses advanced multispectral drone imaging to reveal what the eye can’t see. With the DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral and professional processing through Pix4Dfields, Plains Precision captures detailed data across multiple light bands — including near-infrared and red-edge — to measure plant vigor, chlorophyll activity, and field variability.
The result is clear, actionable vegetation index maps such as NDVI, NDRE, and other vegetation indices that help identify stress, nutrient deficiencies, drainage issues, and uneven growth. Instead of guessing, you can scout the right areas, fine-tune input applications, and make confident management decisions that improve efficiency and protect yield potential.
It’s precision intelligence for modern farming — delivered quickly, accurately, and ready to guide your next move.
Field Mapping
Field mapping provides high-resolution aerial maps that give you an accurate, up-to-date view of your fields. Plains Precision delivers detailed orthomosaic maps and elevation models that help measure acreage, identify drainage patterns, and evaluate overall field conditions.
One of the greatest advantages is integration — these maps can be uploaded into compatible farm equipment to create accurate field boundaries and guidance lines. The result is cleaner passes, more consistent coverage, improved efficiency, and optimized input use. It’s precise data that works seamlessly with your equipment to reduce overlap, cut waste, and save time and money.
Thermal Recoveries
Using advanced thermal drone technology, Plains Precision can detect heat signatures that aren’t visible to the naked eye — making it a powerful tool for livestock recoveries, herd management, and pet recoveries. Whether locating missing cattle in timber and tall grass, monitoring herd movement across large pastures, or keeping an extra set of eyes on livestock during calving season, thermal imaging provides fast, efficient insight without disturbing animals.
In rural Kansas, when pets run off, they often disappear into thick timber, tall grasslands, or wide open country where finding them quickly becomes difficult. Our thermal drone recovery services help locate missing pets faster by detecting body heat, even in dense cover or low visibility conditions. We provide a safe, efficient way to bring your animals home when every minute counts.
It’s a safe, minimally intrusive way to cover ground quickly, protect your investment, and bring pets home sooner.
Real Estate Imaging
Drone real estate imaging gives property listings a striking visual edge by capturing crisp aerial photos and smooth video that highlight every angle of a home and its surrounding land. Equipped with a high-resolution 100 MP Hasselblad camera and advanced triple-lens system, this platform delivers detailed 6K video and expansive stills that bring out features buyers care about — from roof lines and landscaping to acreage and access points.
The drone’s intelligent flight modes, stabilized gimbal, and long flight time allow for dynamic walk-throughs, wide overview shots, and cinematic sequences that enhance listings, showcase property scale, and help makers stand out in competitive markets.
Whether used for residential, commercial, or rural properties, professional aerial imaging makes listings more engaging, builds buyer confidence, and adds a premium feel to marketing materials.
