Mosaic Mapping

Why Map Your Farm?

Mosaic Mapping farm maps provide farmers with accurate and up to date information on their paddock acreage, irrigation and drainage systems, forest blocks, water supplies, fencing and road assets for effective planning and land management. Some key applications of farm maps include:

Measuring Paddock Acreage & Forest Areas - Paddock areas determined from GPS data provide farmers with accurate information on the amount of land being used for different crop types, grazing and forestry.

Presentation - Farm maps provide an effective way to summarise your knowledge of your property to others. They can be a useful tool when communicating with potential investors, irrigation engineers, government departments, contractors and employees.

Costing Proposed Improvements - Accurate measurements can be taken from maps when costing new fencing, irrigation systems, farm tracks etc.

Precision Agriculture - GPS surveyed farm maps provide the framework for precision agriculture. For example, GPS is used to survey a paddock and sample points to create a fertility map. The map is used by a fertiliser spreader that is controlled by a laptop computer, with a GPS receiver, to deliver varying amounts of fertiliser depending on the nutrient deficiency within any area.
