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. […]

November we celebrated 2 Years of Ag Geospatial NW. It has been an amazing ride and learning experience. A lot to learn about self employment after 25 years of working for a big corporation. So far most of my work has been Land Surveying for Property Boundaries, Property Line Adjustments, Measure 49 Partitions and FEMA Elevation […]

Proud Dad today and had to share! Reviewing past homework from our 1st grade daughter and one of their assignments was making different maps of the same area. I believe she did a great job of drawing and also explaining the differences to me. For a Dad that makes maps for a living this was […]

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 […]

After finally warming up from last week’s COLD farm survey I am ready to post a few photos. It was a very enjoyable and very interesting project. 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 […]
