📊 Bale Report (HayGuard™)
Each scanned bale receives a clear report with:
- Pass/Warn/Flag classification — Simple, actionable result
- Confidence score — How certain the model is
- Spectral details — For those who want to understand the data
- Lot tracking info — For chain-of-custody documentation
🗺️ Field Risk Map (FieldScan™)
Drone mapping deliverables include:
- Infestation probability map — Continuous risk surface
- Patch boundaries — Vector polygons of detected areas
- Treatment acreage — Summary statistics for planning
- Exportable formats — GeoTIFF, shapefile, PDF report

🌾 About Ventenata
Ventenata (Ventenata dubia) is an invasive annual grass spreading rapidly in the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies. It reduces hay quality and forage value, and can dominate rangeland if left unchecked.
🌿 About Medusahead
Medusahead (Taeniatherum caput-medusae) is another invasive annual grass that creates dense stands, reduces livestock grazing capacity, and increases fire risk due to its slow decomposition.
🔥 About Cheatgrass
Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) is the most widespread invasive annual grass in the West. It cures early, creating fire hazards, and provides poor forage value compared to native perennials.
