Weekly satellite monitoring for California specialty crop orchards. We detect drought, disease, and pest pressure 1–2 weeks before visible damage — then send you one plain English alert to your phone, in English or Spanish, via WhatsApp or email.
† Projected estimates based on UC Davis UCCE 2024 almond cost studies. Individual results vary.
‡ Per UC ANR remote sensing research on canopy stress detection lead times.
Enterprise-grade satellites capture light your eyes cannot see — multiple times per week, year-round. We turn that data into one actionable sentence before the damage becomes permanent.
Enterprise-grade satellite imagery passes over your orchard multiple times per week at field-level resolution — detailed enough to distinguish individual orchard rows. We pull your exact parcel automatically and extract the signals that matter for your crop health.
We calculate canopy health, water stress, and spatial patterns — compared to your farm's own historical baseline, not a generic regional average. Your blocks, your history.
Every Monday morning, a plain English report to your phone. No dashboard login. No NDVI numbers to decode. Just: what's happening, where, and what to do this week.
Satellite flags which blocks need attention. Your PCA scouts those specific acres and makes the call. Targeted inspection instead of walking everything. Better decisions, faster — with the data to back them up.
We write each report the way a careful advisor would — specific, honest, and actionable. What the satellite saw. Where. What your PCA should look at first. The data they need to make the right call.
Modeled scenarios from real 2024 Tulare County satellite data. Satellite detects the signal — your PCA determines the cause and response. Together, they catch problems earlier and focus field time where it matters most.

Heavy rainfall and hail during the 5-day peak bloom window damaged flowers and disrupted bee flight. Satellite confirmed nut-set reduction within 48 hours. Pollination is the highest-risk period for almonds — the window is only 5–7 days per variety.
Wet, warm April conditions created fungal pressure in the southeast 62 acres — lower elevation, slower drainage. Satellite showed spatial NDVI divergence 12 days before visible leaf lesions appeared. A timely PCA field visit on April 10th, guided by the satellite flag, could have confirmed the cause and directed a targeted response.
Multiple heat waves during hull fill. Satellite detected canopy water stress June 17th. Grower increased irrigation June 28th — 11 days after the satellite flag. California average kernel weight fell 4% from 2023. Earlier response, coordinated with your PCA, can protect kernel development during the most sensitive window of the season.
North 38 acres showed progressive NDVI decline beginning August 5th — a 10-day lead on visible symptoms. PCA notified August 5th; field inspection on August 7th confirmed the cause and guided the response. Early satellite flag allowed a targeted, timely intervention on just the affected sector.

The complete 2024 Hernandez Ranch analysis — every event, every dollar, every recommendation for 2025.
Terralens AI was built to make your advisory practice more effective — not to automate around it. We give you block-level satellite data before you scout. You tell the farmer what to do.
Monday morning, you see the same satellite report your grower sees — block-level NDVI, stress flags, and trend data for the past 4 weeks. You decide what to scout and what to skip. Your windshield time goes where it matters.
Terralens flags the anomaly. You determine the cause — whether it's NOW pressure, irrigation deficit, disease, or nothing at all. The report explicitly defers to your assessment. Your grower sees satellite data and your expertise, together.
When you recommend an intervention, you can show the grower the satellite trend that flagged it. When you say a block looks fine, you have 4 weeks of data backing that up. Satellite intelligence gives your advice more weight — not less relevance.
PCAs and CCAs who introduce growers to Terralens AI earn a referral fee on every active subscription — as long as the grower stays on. No selling required. If the data helps your growers, telling them about it is the job.
"The satellite caught a stress signal in the northwest block two weeks before I would have scheduled a site visit. I scouted it, found early water stress, and we adjusted irrigation before it affected kernel set."
— Luis A., CCA · Porterville, Tulare County · Pilot ParticipantWe're building a network of trusted PCAs and CCAs in each Central Valley county. Partners receive early access, co-branded reports, and a referral structure that rewards long-term grower relationships.
Terralens AI delivers lender-formatted collateral risk reports — health score, block-level stress map, LTV context, and a credit workflow checklist — within 24 hours of ordering.
Every report opens with a YES / NO flag. Know which files need your attention before annual review — without reading the full report. Medium and High risk parcels are flagged automatically with recommended actions pre-written for your credit file.
Sentinel-2 satellite imagery processed into per-block NDVI stress ratings. See exactly which acres are underperforming and why it matters to productive capacity — before you schedule a field inspection. Satellite flags the block; your inspector confirms the cause.
Estimated land value range, loan-to-value ratio, and modelled revenue impact are calculated automatically using USDA NASS and UC Davis benchmarks. A $2M loan on a 370-acre almond parcel — you see the LTV in seconds, not after a site visit.
Quarterly monitoring builds a multi-season baseline for your credit file. When a loan comes up for annual review, you have 12 months of satellite health history — not just the snapshot from the last site visit. SGMA groundwater basin status included on every report.
Terralens AI reports are formatted to attach directly to a credit file — no reformatting, no retyping. Every report includes a lender workflow checklist with sign-off fields for field inspection, insurance verification, and credit committee decision.
The first 20 farms are free. After the pilot, $4 per acre per month — your farm is 200 acres, your cost is $800/month. No tiers, no guessing, no enterprise contract. The same price per acre whether you farm 50 or 500.

Your father walked every row every day. He had 40 acres. You have 400. The satellite doesn't sleep, doesn't miss a block, and doesn't need a truck. It passes over your orchard every five days and captures data no one on the ground can see at scale — early water stress, spatial canopy divergence, block-level anomalies weeks before they're visible.
Terralens AI was built to give your PCA better data, not to replace their judgment. We flag what the satellite sees. Your advisor determines the cause and the response. Satellite intelligence plus agronomic expertise — that's when you catch things early enough to matter.
Satellites pass over every acre automatically, multiple times per week, year-round — no hardware to install, no batteries to charge, no aircraft to schedule. The raw imagery is one input. The value is in our proprietary analysis layer: building your farm's baseline, detecting anomalies, and translating it into something actionable. That's what we built.
Central Valley averages 280 sunny days per year. On cloudy weeks, we use radar satellite data which penetrates clouds to provide a soil moisture and canopy density signal. You never lose visibility.
Our quality system runs automated validation checks on every report before delivery — flagging NDVI anomalies, data gaps, and low-confidence imagery. Every report shows a confidence score (60–100) so you always know how much to rely on it. We flag and explain every uncertainty in the weekly report.
No — and it was never meant to. Your PCA makes the agronomic call. Satellite tells them which 38 acres to look at first, instead of scouting all 400. The result is faster decisions, more targeted interventions, and field time spent where the data says it matters.
Give us your orchard's location. We pull 12 months of satellite history and show you exactly what we would have flagged — free, before you spend a dollar. Takes us 20 minutes. Costs you nothing.
We'll be in touch within 1 business day. No commitment required.
