What Are We About?
We are a local agronomy service in Gippsland that uses drone technology for pasture improvement, particularly in difficult to access parts of your farm.
Ag drones provide a special niche in the region by enabling access to difficult to reach areas of your farm that otherwise can result in them being under utilised.
Our service can return your hillsides, gullies and wet areas to higher productivity through fertilising, seeding/pasture improvement, weed management and mapping and analysis.
Recent drone technology has added new capabilities to conventional aerial application by helicopters and airplanes. Drones are more precise, flexible, targeted and cost effective. Drones can identify and spot spray single weeds or clumps of weeds using far less herbicide, while flying much closer to hill sides and obstacles, reducing spray drift, and accessing a greater portion of your farm. All for a fraction of the cost.
In open country, drones are efficient, competing with conventional boom sprayers in the completion of acres per hour while staying off your crop or wet paddock, and reducing compaction.
Drones can also monitor and map the weeds and areas of poor productivity in your paddock using specialised cameras. These maps allow a prescription pattern of fertiliser, herbicide or seed to be dispensed in a variable rate application. Why pay for fertiliser, seed or herbicide where it is not effective?
At Hill Country Ag Drones, our goal is to bring the technological benefits of drones into an agronomic solution that makes your land more productive, healthy and profitable. Drones lower the costs of application, opening possibilities for othermarginal land. Call us and have a chat about possibilities, we are always happy to stop by and talk about what we can do for you.
