For Farmers · Tech & AI

Eyes in the sky for working land.

Urban Prairie Agriculture has been on the forefront of bringing drone technology, aerial mapping, and AI into the everyday work of small farms. The same tools used to map historic landmarks and large commercial operations now belong to the people growing your food — helping farmers see more, waste less, and respond faster.

What we can do today

Drone services built for agriculture.

Acreage & boundary mapping

Sub-centimeter orthomosaics and elevation data — perfect for fence planning, easements, water flow modeling, and grant paperwork.

Crop & pasture monitoring

Repeatable AI-assisted aerial passes that track growth, drainage issues, weed pressure, and overgrazing across the full season.

Infrastructure documentation

Barns, silos, irrigation pivots, corrals, hoop houses — captured in high resolution for insurance, planning, and repair reference.

In the field · Utah

Drone land surveys, from the Wasatch to the West Desert.

Real captures from working Utah farms — aerial surveys for acreage, crop health, infrastructure planning, and seasonal documentation. Every flight feeds an AI pipeline that turns raw imagery into decisions farmers can act on the same day.

Coming soon · Add-on service

Thermal Imaging & AI Detection

An upcoming add-on built specifically for ranchers, farmers, and land managers. Thermal sensors mounted to our drones reveal heat signatures invisible to the naked eye, and our AI models flag anomalies in real time — opening up a new layer of awareness across your operation.

  • Find lost cattle & livestock — locate animals at night, in dense brush, or across rough terrain by their heat signature.
  • Detect underground water leaks — pinpoint irrigation breaks, buried line leaks, and subsurface moisture before they wash out a field.
  • Spot hot spots & hidden issues — identify equipment overheating, electrical faults, wildlife, or early signs of structure fires.

A missing cow, a hidden leak, or an unmapped pasture can each cost more than a full survey. With drones and AI, we get answers in hours — not days.

Portfolio

See an example of a 3D capture of an historic building.

The same drone and photogrammetry workflow we use across working Utah farms also powers high-fidelity 3D captures of historic landmarks. Explore the interactive model below — pan, zoom, and orbit to see the level of detail we can deliver for any structure, parcel, or piece of land.
