Calling California with Forrest Faszer
I may be considered new to the team at Pollen Systems, but what I am not new to is California’s Capital, Sacramento.
Coming from a farming family myself, I was born and raised here on the Sacramento River Delta, on one of my family’s very own pear and cherry orchards. Since there are so many farmers in Sacramento it seems fitting that it also holds the title of being the Farm-To-Fork Capital of the United States. Meaning Sacramento’s local restaurants, supermarkets, and (of course) farmers markets, offer some of the freshest produce, all made possible by our local farmers...

Ground Control Points for Precision Imagery
With any form of data collection, there is uncertainty. For instance, today’s Global Positioning System (GPS) enabled smartphones are typically accurate to within a 4.9 m (16 ft.) radius under open sky. This radius matters in precision agriculture, when growers often want to consistently monitor thousands of plants week after week, year after year!
To address this issue, we at Pollen Systems turn to technology like Ground Control Points (GCPs) to achieve the highest confidence in our imagery location accuracy.

Avocados in Precision Agriculture
At Pollen Systems, we are always excited to apply our PrecisionView™ approach to the crops we know and love. One fruit we keep returning to at work (and in our favorite recipes) is the beloved avocado.
Adapted to rainforests by nature, avocados grow vigorously and will develop a dense canopy in a relatively short time. This growth habit is a challenge unique to cultivating avocados, as each tree also bears two overlapping years of fruit at a time: new shoots for the current year emerge even as the previous season’s mature fruit approach their harvest date.

Our biggest challenges are water conservation and optimizing water stress and consistent vigor in our wine grapes. The collection and analysis of the types of imaging captured by Pollen Systems, the communication, timeliness and the ability to be out at the same time every week created a customer-service driven solution that met our needs.
