Peabody, MA (PRWEB) January 10, 2014
GeoVantage today announced that Beck's Hybrids, the largest family-owned seed company in the United States, is expanding its 2014 collaboration. The expanded collaboration will include increased operational capabilities and increased technology offerings in Beck's geographical areas.
"Since 2010 Beck's Hybrids has utilized GeoVantage to supply custom imagery for farmers in their marketing area," said Matthew Herring, senior vice president of GeoVantage Inc. "Our unique and proven delivery system allows Beck's Hybrids to rely on GeoVantage as a consistent long-term provider. We are deeply committed to bringing Beck's and their customers the highest quality aerial imagery."
In 2013, Beck's Hybrids became the first third-party company to offer technology for the farmer to order and receive delivery of aerial imaging from their precision agriculture web application. GeoVantage currently supplies data at 50cm resolution for Beck's imagery-based field management program designed to help farmers to more efficiently manage their crops in a site specific manner that can lead to increased yields and profitability.
"Early on, Beck's Hybrids recognized the unique advantages that GeoVantage aerial imagery technology can provide to the agricultural market," said Wade Wiley, farm business lead at Beck's Hybrids. "By building the right tools, it is our goal to help farmers increase yield potential on their operations through the use of aerial imagery. As an example, Beck's processes twenty-one different views of the image in real-time which allows field variability to be seen at different levels. Because we're working together, it gives us the opportunity to focus more on the farmer."
GeoVantage delivers orthorectified digital aerial imagery through a proprietary camera and processing software system that is automated for high efficiency and quality. Their network of more than 30 airplanes and camera systems differentiate GeoVantage as the premier agricultural imagery provider in the United States.
