Overpass turns each satellite pass over your farm into a crop health map, a season timeline and a plain alert on your phone. Priced per hectare, no hardware, no drone.
Field 12 from drilling to harvest. Each dot is a satellite pass; the filled ones were clear enough to read. Overpass joins them into a curve you can compare against last year, the neighbouring field or the variety trial down the road.
Field mean crossed 0.55. The headland along the road lagged by 0.08, matching the compaction you flagged after the wet drilling.
3.1 ha dropped 0.11 in ten days while the rest of the field held. Alert sent at 11:05; your agronomist found yellow rust at the edge two days later.
Index fell below 0.40 across 90% of the field. Overpass estimated harvest readiness for 12 Aug; the combine went in on the 13th.
NDVI compares how much red light the canopy absorbs with how much near-infrared it bounces back. Healthy leaves absorb red and reflect infrared hard, so the number climbs. Overpass shows the raw value and, next to it, what it usually means for the crop you are growing.
Post-harvest, freshly drilled ground, or a field that has failed. Useful for confirming cover-crop establishment.
Early growth, late-season senescence, or trouble: waterlogging, disease, nutrient shortfall. Context from the timeline tells you which.
Canopy closing, biomass building. Variation inside this band is where variable-rate nitrogen earns its keep.
Peak season. The index saturates here, so Overpass switches to a red-edge index to keep separating the top of the field from the very top.
Every value on the map is atmospherically corrected and cloud-masked before you see it. Pixels under thin haze are flagged rather than guessed. The formula is the standard one, (nir - red) / (nir + red), computed from bands 8 and 4 at 10 m, and you can download the underlying reflectances for any pass.
Overpass also runs a moisture index and a chlorophyll index on the same pass. They live one tap away from the map and share the same season timeline, so a dip in one is always seen alongside the others.
You never open a satellite archive. The pass lands, Overpass processes your fields, and the result arrives wherever you already are: a phone, a tractor terminal, or your agronomist's inbox.
Two Sentinel-2 satellites cover your farm every five days at 10 m, and the Grower plan adds a 3 m tasked pass in the weeks that decide the crop.
Overpass clips the pass to your field boundaries, compares every pixel with the previous pass and with the field's own history, and decides whether anything is worth telling you about.
Pick the channels once. Overpass only speaks when a field changes, and it says which field, how much, and where to walk.
One price per hectare per season, eight months from drilling to harvest. Draw your boundaries, see the total before you commit, and add or drop fields at any pass.
Every clear 10 m pass, the health index and the season timeline for each field. Enough to see the season take shape.
Sharper pixels when it counts, zones you can spread against, and the moisture and chlorophyll indices next to NDVI.
For groups, buying co-ops and agronomy firms watching many farms. Grower features on every member's fields, one invoice.
Prices in dollars, billed at the start of the season with a 30-day refund if the first passes are not useful. Fields under 20 ha in total are free on Scout for smallholders and trials.
"The June alert paid for the season on its own. Three hectares of rust in a corner I would not have walked for another fortnight. Now I look at the map on Monday morning before I look at the weather."
Cloudy passes are skipped, not guessed. The timeline shows them as hollow dots so you know the gap is real. In a wet spring the Grower plan's tasked passes can be pulled forward, and the moisture index still reads through thin haze.
Draw them on the map, upload the boundary file from your existing farm software, or send us your subsidy claim map and we will trace it for you within a day.
Yes. Overpass exports the open format every current terminal reads, plus the older shapefile if your kit predates it. Each zone carries the rate you set, so the spreader just runs the job.
You do. The satellite imagery is public; the boundaries, history and alerts are yours, and you can export or delete them at any time. We never sell field-level data to anyone.
Draw your fields today and it will be the first one on your timeline. No hardware, no drone pilot, nothing to install in the cab.
