By Hagie News
Hagie Mfg. and AirScout are pleased to announce a new joint endeavor to deliver value to customers by uniting state-of-the-art field prescription services with capability for timely applications management.
Disease pressure can create crop demise and result in significant financial impact. Through marrying advanced aerial technology with capability to perform full season applications as needed, growers and agricultural retailers are able to optimize soil and crop health for maximum yield potential. The perfect complement to traditional field-based scouting services, AirScout’s Application Program utilizes advanced thermal technology and ADVI imagery to build precise field prescription maps to be transmitted to a specially designed 2016 Hagie AirScout Edition STS unit. The fully customized applicator will utilize technologies including Raven’s Slingshot® wireless tool, 360 Yield Center’s "Undercover" and "Y-Drop" devices. The unit also features a modified tank that is divided into four sections and a plumbing manifold that allows various loading options. The machine’s dual pumps and manifolds allow for two entirely different application processes to occur at the same time. The Hagie AirScout Edition unit will be made available this Summer to providers utilizing AirScout prescription services in Nebraska, Iowa & Illinois.

AirScout augments ground-scouting services by providing ongoing aerial photography approximately every two weeks throughout the growing season. AirScout provides both visual and thermal images, which are normally delivered to the farmer within 24 hours of acquisition. Their process uses state-of-the-art thermal technology that is far more precise and sophisticated than earlier infrared or NDVI methodologies. This photography can reveal temperature changes, which in plants, as in humans, can be indicative of illness and disease. When used in conjunction with ground scouting, this service can help spot, analyze and target treatments more effectively, without waste, and before plant health and productivity are compromised.
