Your ground.Your data.Your call.
Drone field mapping and a grower-owned record for the farms of the Chippewa Valley. We fly it, your agronomist signs it, and the file is yours for good.
- 01The grower owns every file.
- 02A person signs every recommendation.
- 03Accuracy is recorded, never assumed.
01 · Fly
We fly it in the right light.
Wind, sun angle and shutter speed decide the day. The drone flies a lawnmower pattern and shoots a photo every couple of seconds. This flight: 35 photos, nine minutes.
02 · Stitch
Our machine stitches it into one map.
The photos are matched, meshed and blended into a single orthomosaic you can measure from. Fifty-three seconds for this field. No cloud, no monthly fee.
03 · Read
Then you read the field, not a pixel.
Wet corners, skips in the stand, the pasture your cattle actually use. Five centimetres per pixel is enough to count plants.
04 · File
It lands on your record, signed.
The map is filed to the field in Acrefile beside your soil numbers, in words, with your agronomist’s signed recommendation on top. Opened from a text.

Same ground, two eyes
Satellite sees a field.
We see the rows.
The public satellite image on the right is what every farm app shows you. The left half is H-3 from our first flight, the same ground at five centimetres: the wet corner, the skips, the cattle in the pasture. Drag the handle.

How a flight works
Ask. We fly. It lands on your record.
Priced per acre, one number, the map is yours to keep. Ask us for a quote.
- 1
Text us a field.
Or your agronomist does. A field name and a reason is enough: stand check, gap map, drainage, a spray plan.
- 2
We fly it in the right light.
Wind, sun angle and shutter speed decide the day. If a product needs centimetre accuracy, we fly RTK and the record says so.
- 3
The map lands on your record.
Stitched on our machine, filed to your field, opened from your link. The files are yours to keep or share.
The first flight
Thirty-five photos.
One field.
The same afternoon.
H-3 on the home farm, flown on the second of September. Stitched, filed, and opened on a phone before supper. That is the whole pitch.

About
Two brothers,
one farm.
Badgair Bros started on the home farm outside Bloomer. One of us farms it. The other builds the tools and flies the drone. We built Acrefile because every report we got came in a different app, on someone else’s account, and none of it added up to a record of the ground.
