SkyScout combines AI technology and predictive analytics to deliver insights into crop health.
This helps farmers react quickly to disruptions and make data-driven decisions to boost profitability.
AI-Powered Crop Monitoring with Predictive Analytics
SkyScout provides farmers with high-resolution aerial images of their fields every 12 days. It alerts farmers to critical issues such as weed pressure and nutrient deficiencies.
Its thermal imaging can predict disease outbreaks up to two weeks in advance with up to 95% accuracy.
Expert Agronomy Support and Actionable Insights
In addition, Landus' team of agronomy experts reviews each field scan and provides customised recommendations.
"We understand that many growers may not have time to analyse complex data," says John Finneseth, director of technical experts at Landus. "Our agronomists can translate the drone imagery into specific action items, whether that's targeted applications or addressing issues early before they spread."
Improving Farm ROI and Sustainable Agriculture
Sam Caton, interim CEO of Landus and Executive Vice President of Sales, said: "Growers are generally within 10 percent when predicting their yield — SkyScout can reduce that variability by 50 percent. The ability to make informed, real-time decisions ensures they get the best ROI."
The platform helps farmers optimise seed and tillage choices, fine-tune nitrogen and fertilizer applications, and identify hidden yield loss.
"As stewards of the land, our farmer-owners deserve tools that match their expertise," says Finneseth. "SkyScout brings advanced drone scouting into the hands of every Iowa farmer — supporting sustainable practices, early detection of issues, and smarter resource use."
