Working in Strathmore.
Wheatland County is surveyed on the Dominion Land Survey grid, so the land east of Strathmore is a near-perfect one-mile checkerboard. That geometry is completely invisible from a vehicle and is the single most legible thing about the land from 120 metres — which is how agricultural parcels are actually assessed.
A plan-view pass over a quarter section shows boundaries, access, drainage and cultivation in one frame, delivered as both stills and a moving pass.
Light. Cultivation cycle drives the look. Post-seeding green, mid-summer canola yellow and post-harvest stubble each read completely differently from the air.
Terrain. Flat prairie on a survey grid. The flattest ground in the service area, and the most legible from directly overhead.
Wind. Fully exposed prairie. Wind here is unbroken from any direction and is the primary scheduling variable.
Airspace. Strathmore sits in uncontrolled Class G airspace well clear of the Calgary control zone. Local aerodrome activity is plotted before the flight. This is a corridor-level assessment; the specific address is confirmed against NAV Drone (opens in a new tab) before every flight.
On the ground. Town of Strathmore rules govern municipal land; county parcels are launched from with the landowner's permission. About 45 minutes east of the Calgary base on Highway 1. Same-day capable.

How a Strathmore shoot runs.
- 01Brief and scope. Strathmore lends itself to farms and ranch land and brand and campaign films; the shot list follows the subject. Mobilisation is stated separately from the fee.
- 02Airspace, where the brief includes aerial work. Checked against NAV Drone from the address, not the postcode. Strathmore is class g uncontrolled, so authorisation is not normally required — but Strathmore aerodrome is 5 km away and its circuit is plotted regardless.
- 03Light and weather. Fully exposed prairie. Wind here is unbroken from any direction and is the primary scheduling variable. Cultivation cycle drives the look. Post-seeding green, mid-summer canola yellow and post-harvest stubble each read completely differently from the air.
- 04Shoot day. About 45 minutes from the Calgary base. Launch from the subject property with the owner's permission; town of Strathmore rules govern municipal land; county parcels are launched from with the landowner's permission.
- 05Post-production and delivery. Edited, graded and finished for every format and market it will live in, delivered digitally — which is how owners of Strathmore property who live elsewhere, anywhere in the world, are served by a global agency.
Strathmore questions, answered.
Can you fly a drone over farmland near Strathmore?
Yes. Wheatland County is uncontrolled Class G airspace, so no authorisation is normally required. Launch is arranged from the parcel itself with the landowner's permission, and local aerodrome activity is plotted beforehand.
What is the best time in the growing season to shoot a quarter section?
It depends on the argument. Post-seeding shows drainage and soil variation, mid-summer shows crop health and canola colour, and post-harvest stubble shows boundaries and access most clearly. The date is chosen from what the parcel needs to prove.
How does aerial imagery help sell agricultural land?
It shows what a buyer cannot otherwise verify: exact boundaries, road and water access, drainage patterns and how much of the parcel is genuinely workable. On the survey grid east of Strathmore, all four are obvious from directly overhead.
Strathmore is 29 km from Chestermere.
Because mobilisation is quoted from the Calgary base, Strathmore and Chestermere, 29 km away, carry different quotes for an identical subject.
