irriGATE Farmer & Agriscience Feedback Survey Question Title * 1. irriGATE uses drone-based multispectral and thermal imagery to help farmers spot dry zones early, cut water waste from runoff, evaporation, and deep percolation, and turn aerial data into smarter irrigation decisions. We'd love your feedback as we develop this idea. To start, what best describes your role? Farmer / grower Agricultural scientist / researcher Agronomist / farm consultant Irrigation or ag-equipment dealer/installer Student or academic in agriscience Other Question Title * 2. What type of farm, crop, or operation do you work with (e.g. row crops, orchards, vineyards, greenhouse, research plots)? Question Title * 3. Which irrigation method(s) do you currently use? (Select all that apply) Drip irrigation Sprinkler / center pivot Flood or furrow irrigation Subsurface irrigation Drone-based monitoring (any kind) Manual / hose watering Other Question Title * 4. How much of a problem is water waste (from runoff, evaporation, or deep percolation) in your current irrigation approach? Not a problem Minor problem Moderate problem Major problem Severe problem Question Title * 5. Have you used or considered drone technology for farm management? Yes — for irrigation monitoring specifically Yes — for other purposes (spraying, scouting, mapping, etc.) No, but I'm interested No, and I'm not interested Question Title * 6. How likely would you be to try a service like irriGATE on your own operation? (0 = not at all likely, 10 = extremely likely) 0 10 Clear i We adjusted the number you entered based on the slider’s scale. Question Title * 7. Which features would be most valuable to you? (Select up to 3) Early detection of dry/stressed zones via thermal imagery Lower water costs / usage Aerial mapping data to guide irrigation decisions Less time spent manually walking/checking fields Alerts/notifications when a zone needs attention Historical data tracking over a season Other Question Title * 8. What's the biggest barrier that would stop you from adopting a service like irriGATE? Upfront cost Ongoing subscription/service cost Uncertainty it would actually save money/water Complexity / learning curve Data privacy or trust concerns Farm too small to justify it Reliability of drone equipment/weather limitations Other Question Title * 9. What would you realistically expect to pay for a service like this (per acre, per season, or as a flat subscription — whichever makes sense for you)? Nothing — I wouldn't pay for this Under $5/acre/season $5–$15/acre/season $15–$30/acre/season More than $30/acre/season Not sure / depends on results Question Title * 10. What other products, services, or companies (if any) do you currently use or consider for irrigation monitoring or drone-based farm management? Question Title * 11.
