Agribotix provides the platform, service and support. Users can scout and record aerial field data across up to 160 acres in a single flight. The quadcopter can capture simultaneously near-infrared and RGB (standard visual) images. The data collected is uploaded to the FarmLens™ platform, where it is processed to produce high-resolution Field Health Reports (NDVI), essential for early identification of yield-limiting problems, and shapefiles needed for variable application prescriptions. These reports can be used to address issues and optimize inputs, leading to improved crop yields and increased profits for growers.

"There's a growing demand for our best-in-class ag intelligence solution," said Agribotix CEO, Lou Faust. "Our relationship with Lankota significantly expands our customer base and gives retailers the confidence of working with two respected brands. Both companies are 100% focused on agriculture, so we understand the kind of reliable information farmers need to better manage their crops and increase their bottom lines."

"We've been on the cutting edge of technology in manufacturing," noted Marvie Tschetter, Lankota CEO. "Now, expanding into ag intelligence is a logical extension of our business. We wanted to partner with a service-oriented company that shares our dedication to quality and service."
