Variable Rate Planting
The lowest-hanging fruit. Seed savings alone can cover an entire year's subscription.
Aerial thermal imagery for precision ag
See crop stress weeks before it costs you.
AirScout captures your entire field in a single thermal snapshot at six-inch resolution. Every pixel is relative, so you build sharper prescriptions and act while there's still time.

Why AirScout
One snapshot. Every pixel relative.
We are the only aerial imagery company that captures your entire field in a single shot. That's the foundation of a prescription you can trust. Everyone else flies a grid and stitches the tiles together, which distorts the very differences you're trying to manage.
AirScout · Single capture
The whole field, in one frame
Because every pixel is exposed in the same instant, values stay true relative to each other across the entire field. That relationship is what makes a good zone.
Others · Grid and stitch
Tiles flown minutes apart
Grid patterns capture sections under changing light and temperature, then stitch them. Seams and drift creep in, making the imagery unsuitable for real prescriptions.
Built for prescriptions
From six-inch pixels to field-ready decisions
Most people picture their fields in two-and-a-half-acre grids. We picture them in six-inch pixels. That resolution turns imagery into precise, defensible prescriptions.
Late-Season Nitrogen
Combine bare-soil and in-season imagery to tailor nitrogen to your present crop.
Fungicide & Foliar
Thermal and ADVI build zones that benefit from treatment while sparing healthy areas.
Multi-Hybrid
Build defensive zones based on drought and other stressors, hybrid by hybrid.
Irrigation
Thermal shows drought stress first, so you can build zones for variable-rate watering.
Soil Sampling by Zone
Two-and-a-half-acre grids are obsolete once you can sample against six-inch pixels.
Scouting & Disease
Catch emergence issues, insects, and disease pressure while there's still time to respond.
Yield Estimating
Estimate yields up to 30 days earlier than any other method, straight from the imagery.
Our technology
Two patented ways to read a living field
AirScout is the proactive crop-management tool. It's easy to learn, practical to use, and works seamlessly with the precision equipment you already run.
AirScout Thermal Imagery
Sensitive to 3/100° C- Shows where plants run a "stress fever" from any factor, biotic or abiotic.
- Reveals stress far sooner than reflective technologies, and reads bare-soil conditions.
- Detects where to intervene weeks ahead of serious crop damage, not days.
- Creates precision treatment files that drive your VRT equipment directly.

AirScout ADVI Imagery
Advanced vegetation index- Advances standard NDVI imaging to the next level of detail.
- A wider range of color for higher-resolution, more legible field maps.
- Reads relative nutrition needs across the field by foliage reflectance.
- The Prescription Tool puts application decisions in your hands, or your agronomist's.

Our story
Born in a Piper Cub. Refined over thirty years.
AirScout started in the '90s when our founder, Brian, needed accurate zones to make his own precision equipment work with GPS. What you see today is the culmination of decades of learning that began with a couple of farm kids taking pictures out of an airplane window. We're still farmers, and we're still learning.
