We’re Ward and Emily, the people building Acres Above. We want to earn your call season after season by understanding what matters on your farm, being straightforward about what we can do and following through on the work we agree to.
A useful service starts with listening. We want to understand what you’re trying to accomplish, the conditions on your field and where a drone could make a practical difference. If another approach would suit the job better, we’ll tell you.
You’ll know what’s included, what needs to be worked through and what the job will cost before work is confirmed. We’ll discuss product suitability, access and scheduling, provide an official quote and keep you informed if plans need to change.
Our aim is to earn a lasting place in your farm’s plans through useful work, clear communication and honest expectations. That’s the approach we’re bringing to drone spraying, seeding, spreading and field imaging in Alberta for the 2027 season.
Ward is a mechanical engineering technologist by education. He has spent most of his career in oil and gas well intervention, working onshore and offshore around the world.
He’s bringing that technical background to Acres Above’s drone service and mobile field setup. His focus is on careful preparation, practical equipment choices and clear communication, so you know what to expect when the work comes to your farm.
Emily runs Emerald Agronomy. Raised on family farms, she grew up around cattle, grain farming and the machinery that keeps an operation moving.
She holds a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture from the University of Saskatchewan, majoring in Agronomy and minoring in Soil Science. Her approach starts with the grower’s goals and field conditions, helping farmers make informed decisions for their own operations.
For growers who want agronomic advice or help interpreting imagery, Emerald Agronomy offers those services separately on request.
