What the field shows.And when.

Fly the crop with the drone you already own. Upload the files. VistaReports writes a branded field report: vigor and scouting zones, forecast-timed recommendations, and files your tractor GPS can load.

01

Stand and emergence

Fly early. Upload the stills. The report counts the stand and marks the gaps.

Health zones

Where the canopy is off. Scout the weak ground. Leave the rest.

Double-check your crop insurance payout.

Your own dated drone report shows exactly what was damaged and how many acres were hit. Compare it to what the insurance company offers, so you know what you should receive and have proof to start the negotiation.

Independent report only. Not an insurance adjustment, claim decision, or legal advice.

Fly the field with the aircraft you already have. Upload the files. VistaReports writes the branded field report, plus flight plans and tractor GPS files for the acres that need work.

The second flight is the one that matters.

A dated drone report shows what was damaged and how many acres were hit. Use it to compare with an insurance offer and to plan the next pass. Independent documentation only — not an insurance adjustment, claim decision, or legal advice.

How it works

01

You fly or we fly

RGB mapping of the field is enough to start. Use your drone, or have us capture it.

02

Upload

Send the imagery with the field name, the flight date, and your most recent soil test if you have one.

03

Check your email

A dated PDF plus flight plans and tractor GPS files for the zones that need attention.

On the intake form, tell us your drone and auto-steer brand, and upload your latest soil test with the field files when you have one. We will build ready-to-load flight plans and GPS files for your equipment, emailed with your report.

What the crop showed. And when.

A dated record of every flight, field by field.

Any crop. Every acre. Smarter decisions.

What the report gives you

Plain information you can use on the next pass — not a promise of yield or a licensed prescription.

Crop vigor zones

See which parts of the canopy look strong and which look off, so you walk the weak ground first and leave the healthy acres alone.

Scouting zones with acres

Each problem area is outlined with its acre count, so scouting time and follow-up work stay sized to the real spot — not the whole field.

Annotated treatment map

One map shows where partial-field work belongs. Treat only the acres that need it and save inputs on the rest.

Elevation and drainage

See low spots and how water moves across the field so wet corners and ponding risk are marked before you put traffic or seed there.

Yield outlook vs. county average

A county-context outlook helps you compare this field to the wider area — useful for planning talks, not a guaranteed bushel number.

Forecast-timed recommendations

Each option includes why it was chosen over the others and a timing window tied to the weather, so work lines up with workable days.

Rainfall by month

Year-to-date rain and a month-by-month breakdown from the nearest weather station — the kind of record farmers keep for season decisions.

Storm history

Recent heavy rain, hail, and wind near the field, tied to what the imagery shows — dated notes that help insurance and agronomy conversations.

Field progress vs. prior scans

When we have earlier flights of the same field, we say how it is progressing. The first flight becomes the baseline for the next ones.

Regional Crop Watch

Pests and diseases showing up in the wider area, which way pressure is moving, and what to watch for on your ground this week.

Tractor GPS files

Treatment and rework zones packaged for common auto-steer systems so you can load the acres that need work on the display in the cab.

Drone flight plans

Scout routes and starter rate maps for the controllers we support today — ready for your pilot or sprayer after an agronomist sets real rates.

Every scan. $3 an acre.

$120 minimum. About a 40-acre field. Same price after frost, flood, or hail.

Equipment intake

Tell us what you fly and what you drive. We will build flight plans and GPS files that load straight into your equipment. If your brand is marked coming soon, we will confirm before your report is delivered.

1. Which drone(s) do you fly? (multi-select · only if changed)
2. Drone app or ground station (only if changed)
3. Tractor or sprayer auto-steer and display brand (only if changed)

* Task controller / variable-rate license required on your terminal.

4. Optional model or display name (only if changed)
5. Email to send the files to (only if changed)

Flight plans and tractor GPS files go to this address with the field report. Rates in those files stay as starters until you or your agronomist set the product and rate.

6. Most recent soil test for this field (requested · only if you have a newer one)

A recent soil test helps us tie weak zones on the map to nutrients, so the recommendations and treatment maps are more useful on your next pass. If we already have one on file for this field, skip this unless you have a newer test.

PDF, image, CSV, or Excel. You can attach more than one file. Upload these with your field files.

7. Anything we should know about this field? (optional)

Already sent us this field? You don’t need to re-enter planting info, crop, tillage, irrigation, equipment or soil test. We keep those on file. Only add anything new that matters for this flight — a recent spray or fertilizer, storm or hail damage, or a new problem spot.

First time for this field: tell us the crop and variety, planting date, tillage, irrigation, recent sprays or fertilizer, known thin or wet spots, and any hail or storm damage. We read these notes when we write the report and the recommendations (for example, we won’t push a re-apply of something you just put on).

Planting and field details (first time — or edit if something changed)

Recent applications (product, rate, date — add a row per pass)

Submit this with your field upload. We’ll email the matching flight plans and tractor GPS files with your report.

VistaReports Agriculture is visual documentation and decision support. It is not a licensed agronomy prescription, not a yield guarantee, and not an insurance adjustment. Notes describe what the imagery and public weather sources show. Verify on the ground and consult a certified crop advisor before applying products. Tractor and drone rate fields are placeholders until an agronomist or the product label sets real rates.
