Farm Mapping NZ
Our maps are based on the latest Google Earth imagery. Maps include:
farm layout and paddock sizes
digital shapefiles for your fertiliser company or farm management programme
paddock names or numbers, waterways, hazards, forestry blocks, water lines, troughs etc.
Optional extras include contours, soil types, effluent dispersal zones, and new photography by drone.
A map of the farm is a practical and time-saving tool you’ll use every day. Email us for a quote, or call us for a chat.
“Quick, professional and amazing service.”

"We use our maps to show contractors where to go when they’re spreading fertiliser, or fencing etc.
"They can clearly see where they are going and how to get there. We can show them where hazards are, where the gates are placed and anything else they need to know.
"The quality is really clear. One of the things I was most impressed with was the attention to detail; all the fences and paddock names are clearly marked on an up-to-date satellite map.

How long does it take?
Turnaround time for draft copies is within 7 working days.
Can I have a whiteboard and tearpads?
Yes. Simply contact a commercial printer for a price, and send them the PDF file of your map.
If I decide to go ahead, what happens next?
We prepare a draft photomap showing paddock sizes, farm boundaries, and fence-lines. You check the draft and and make any changes and additions. Many farmers like to add paddock names or numbers. You can mark in any other features you want on the map.
When you approve and return your draft photomap, we prepare the hard copies and digital files of your final maps.

We’ve helped thousands of ciients with farm maps since 1997 after we needed a map for our own farm. Our maps improve and simplify day-to-day management. Photomaps show your farm layout, and measure productive and non-productive areas. Click on the samples for more detail.
Our clients have also used maps to:
Save money when sowing down pastures and applying fertiliser;
Work out stocking rates on different parts of the farm;
Make seasonal assessments on how much land to shut up for silage or hay;
Plan stock movements and feed availability during the winter.
“I’m using the maps more for overall planning when making decisions about areas to feed or crop.
“I’ve also added it to the farm health and safety plan.
“I’ve named the paddocks and I can show people the map of where they’re going and identify the hazards they need to be aware of.”
