Field Mapping: EMLID Reach RS2 and why it's so popular.
The Emlid Reach RS2 has started to dominate the field mapping industry because of its low entry price and high precision. This GNSS receiver is capable of centimeter accuracy with a starting cost of $2199, nearly half the cost of its competitors, pair that with its ease of use and we can see why it's a great option for agricultural field mapping.
Another reason is, with centimeter accuracy and open source connectivity, Emlid can achieve high levels of accuracy while integrating into your existing mapping software such as ArcGIS and other common geospatial software. You can also use Emlid's Flow software which allows for similar levels of functionality as ArcGIS but with a more streamlined design.
Common Uses: Emlid GPS receivers in Agriculture
Topography Field Mapping.
Emlid helps in creating elevation maps of fields to determine the slope and aspects of your field within centimeters. This helps a lot with irrigation and drain management.
Mapping soil types
Being able to manage and identify different soil types is crucial for farmers. Emlid receivers allow you to manage your crops accurately and record problem areas for accurate
monitoring.
Crop health
Allows you to accurately map areas with potential pest, disease, and nutrient issues.
Yield Maps
Accurately monitor high and low production areas for harvesting.
Drone Mapping.
Use Emlid receivers with your drone to create detailed 3D maps of your crops with highly accurate locational data to pinpoint problem areas and monitor crop health. The great part of Drone Mapping and Emlid is that it takes everything we discussed above (Field Mapping, livestock management, crop Scouting, and yield mapping) and puts it in one package.
