Surrounding Pitt County is heavily row-crop and livestock — exactly the kind of operation where thermal aerial scouting catches irrigation, drainage, and stand-emergence issues before yield loss. Within that mix, Stockpile Volumetrics addresses drone-based volumetrics are typically within 1-3% of traditional survey methods, completed in a fraction of the time, with no rover crews walking unstable piles.
