See your whole property from above before you spend on seed, fertiliser or chemical. Precision Ag Services is a family-run business based in the Lockyer Valley, with a local pilot in northern Tasmania. We fly drone mapping jobs for farms across South East Queensland and Tasmania, and turn the images into maps you can act on.

A map is only useful if something happens next. Because we also spray and spread, your maps feed straight into the work: we can spray only the weed patches or seed and spread only where pasture is thin, then map again to check the result. See how this has worked for other growers in our case studies, or check what drone work costs.
South East Queensland, including the Lockyer Valley, Toowoomba and the Darling Downs, the Scenic Rim and Somerset. Tasmania statewide through our Tasmanian pilot, including the North West Coast, Launceston and the Northern Midlands.
Crop and pasture health, weed patches, wet spots and drainage, paddock areas, storm damage and irrigation efficiency.
This is a really difficult question to answer. The short answer is it depends. If we can fly a property from a single position then we don’t need to pack up and move, thus resulting in more time flying. Likewise, depending on what style or type of images you are wanting this can also impact hectares a day. An example is, if a high-resolution image is required you might need to fly 5 metres off the ground, compare this to a RGB or multispectral image, you can fly that around 50 metres of the ground. So, your ability to cover hectares greatly depends on what you are wanting to get done.
Most jobs are priced per hectare, depending on the area, the detail needed and travel. Our drone spraying cost guide explains what affects the price, or ask for a quote.
