How do I obtain an up to date satellite image of my farm?

[Brisel]

How? Who? I'm looking for something less than 3 months old. Google Earth's most recent image is July 2018.

Putin will surely have one for you I can point you in the direction of recent NDVI satellite images if they are any use

If you claim SFP all maps of your farm are on there?

Images are from 2011 for us though

Likewise, as is the Bing Maps image I pay £20/year for to Gatekeeper

bing maps is 2012 here and google maps is 2009!

 

[AndrewM]

are you using the google earth program or just google maps? have you checked the timeline button in google earth? the default images it loads is 2018 for me, but clicking that button reveals one from march 2020 for my farm. these are aerial photos though, so it seems to be pot luck if they fly your area.

actual daily satelight photos are available here, but are of no use due to their scale, unless you like looking at cloud patterns.

You're lucky, wore a track along the side of some permanent pasture at the end of last year. Photographed and deducted from my claim this year thanks to the eye in the sky!

Depending on what you want it for could you not use a drone to take your own pictures?

 

[Pan mixer]

I was going to suggest a drone too, obviously with some huge fields the 'max height allowed' slider may have to be shifted (temporarily) a bit.

Bing maps here is about 1 yr old here.

I dont know but I assume there would be some clever software that could knit the pictures together, after all isn't that all Google maps really is just taken from a plane rather than a drone??

DRONE

I'll ask our geophysics wizz from the Archaeological Soc. His day job is mapping at the OS and he does some pretty good imaging using Lidar and 3D landscape photos (especially over Dorset)
