Well, at the end of 2018 we finally purchased our own Ag Geospatial NW UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) or Drone! Now the fun and real learning begins! We’ve made several attempts over the last couple of years to contract drone work with others and things just did not work out for one reason or another. […]

So what does Ag Geospatial NW really do? Well for one thing I have been trying to do this post for the last 3 weeks, but glad to say too busy to get it done. Here is a bit of what I did in one week’s time in early August. I started a week […]

I have found that I really enjoy the part of my business where I get to work with clients helping them with boundary issues while also learning a lot of other things from them. One example is Marlys Parr who turns 80 this year. I first meet Marlys while surveying for a neighbor and we ran […]

As I finish reading yet another very well written blog about someone’s 2013 and most of the events being blessings (sometimes in disguise), I can only agree that I too have had some challenges, but also more blessings in 2013 than expected. Now I only wish I had the skills to write even a simple email […]

So this week I was out surveying a rural property and looked up to see this yard sign. So what would you expect a Surveyor to do? You got it, put the GPS unit next to it and check the results! My results: 45° 13’ 17.23569” N 122° 28’ 15.14109” W 871.69 ft NAVD 88 So […]

Found most of the monuments for the 6 parcels being surveyed to make up about 400 acres of farmland on Grand Island. Thanks to great surveyors before me and farmer who […]

After months of review, demos, rentals and learning I made the leap to Trimble survey gear. We purchased a S6 Robotic Total Station, TSC3 Survey Controller and two R8 GNSS Model 3 GPS units. I have been very impressed with how these units all work together and how they can help me do a fair amount […]
