Scan your own field — a live demonstration
Give us one field boundary at the start of our meeting. By the time we've had coffee, you'll have this — on your own ground, from real satellite passes.
Worked example: a 7.6 ha arable field, Hoeksche Waard, Netherlands. Everything below was pulled live from Sentinel-1 radar and Sentinel-2 optical — no site visit, no drone, no guesswork.
What we read on this field
Active, healthy crop
NDVI 0.822
A clear cropping cycle — greenness swings from 0.356 in winter to 0.822 at peak (a 0.466 swing), with strong chlorophyll (NDRE 0.563). This is a well-grown summer crop.
An even, well-managed field
CV 0.138
Crop cover is uniform across the field (low variability). A smaller area — about 1.08 ha — reads below the field average; usually the headland and margins, occasionally a genuine thin patch, and flagged for you to glance at rather than hunt for.
The all-weather advantage
31.5% vs 76
Over a year, only 31.5% of optical satellite passes (56 of 178) were clear enough to use in this climate — the rest lost to cloud. Radar gave 76 passes in the same year, cloud or no cloud. That gap is the whole reason we build radar-first.
What we deliberately did NOT put a number on: waterlogging / standing water. Radar detects it well — but honestly, only against a field's own dry baseline, which takes a short calibration on your ground. A fixed rule-of-thumb would have mislabelled normal crop as water here, so we left it out rather than show you a figure we couldn't stand behind. That calibration is exactly the kind of thing a pilot delivers.
How the live scan works at our meeting
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1 | You hand us a field boundary — a KML from your farm software, or we draw it on the map together. |
| 2 | We pull the real satellite record for that exact boundary — years of radar and optical passes. |
| 3 | Minutes later: crop cycle, uniformity, weak-zone flags and the all-weather picture — on your field, not a demo. |
| 4 | You keep it. If it's useful, a pilot adds the calibrated layers (waterlogging, yield, harvest timing) tuned to your ground. |
