Why effective area matters
A 24 hectare paddock with a race down the middle, a gully of scrub and a fenced-off waterway isn’t 24 hectares of feed. It might be 20. If you’re budgeting feed or ordering fertiliser off the gross number, you’re out by the difference on every paddock, every year.
Baseline Plus measures both, with each deduction agreed and itemised — races, yards, bush, scrub, waterways, unusable faces — so you can see exactly where the difference came from and challenge it if you disagree.
See what Plus includes| Paddock | Gross | Deducted | Effective |
|---|---|---|---|
| North | 25.1 | 2.4 | 22.7 |
| Hill | 22.0 | 4.8 | 17.2 |
| River | 21.5 | 3.1 | 18.4 |
| Lane | 19.4 | 1.2 | 18.2 |
| Total | 88.0 | 11.5 | 76.5 |
Illustrative figures. That’s 13% of the farm you were counting as feed.
How it works
Pick your paddocks off the map, or give us an address. Takes two minutes and it means we start with the right piece of land.
Prices are published. We check the boundary and imagery, book your delivery date, and you pay upfront before work starts. Several titles or a lease block? Ask for a call first.
From the best available imagery, plus anything you send us — old maps, a farm plan, waterline records.
Print it, scribble on it, photograph it, send it back. Tell us every fence we got wrong. This is the important step.
Six months of revisions within the agreed scope. We keep correcting until the map matches the farm you actually walk.
Steps 4 and 5 repeat as many times as you need for six months. That is the whole point — the first draft is never the finished map.
The fine print, up front
Nobody can, from imagery. A fence under a shelter belt is invisible; a race regrassed two years ago looks like a paddock. That is exactly why you get six months of revisions instead of one “revision round”. The draft is a starting point, and correcting it is part of the job, not an extra.
LINZ parcel boundaries are frequently offset from the fence on the ground — sometimes by tens of metres — because they derive from historic survey records of varying accuracy. We map what is actually fenced, and confirm it with you. A title vs fenceline comparison map can show both, with the difference in hectares.
It is accurate enough to run a farm on, plan from, and hand to your bank or consultant. It cannot be used for a boundary dispute or a subdivision. For that you need a licensed cadastral surveyor, and we will tell you so rather than sell you a map.
Every map is built by a founder. We check your boundary, the source data and our workload first, then send the payment link with a delivery date. If we are booked up we tell you the next available start rather than take your money and go quiet.
Common questions
Ours are published prices for a standard single property: $750 for Baseline, $1,250 for Baseline Plus with effective paddock areas, and $2,450 for the first year of Baseline Forever, then $890 a year while subscribed. All prices exclude GST. If a property is unusually large, spread across several titles or needs a lot of preparation, we give you a fixed quote before you pay. There are no travel charges.
Your first draft will be with you within ten working days of payment, and we tell you which week your job is booked for before you pay. After the first draft you have six months to send corrections, so the total time depends partly on how quickly your mark-ups come back.
No. Every job is built in-office from aerial imagery, LINZ records and anything you supply, which is why there are no travel charges. It also means the revision loop matters — you are the one who knows where the fences really are.
Gross area is everything inside the paddock fence. Effective area is the part that actually grows grass — gross area less races, yards, bush, scrub, waterways and unusable steep faces. It is usually the number you want for a feed budget or a fertiliser plan. Baseline Plus and Forever give you both, with each deduction agreed and itemised so you can check it.
Yes. Every package delivers PDF maps and the mapped data as GeoPackage, shapefiles and KML, and they are yours to keep and use. If a Baseline Forever subscription ends, you receive a ZIP of your delivered files; the online map and updates stop until you reactivate.
No. It is not a cadastral survey. We map the boundary as it is fenced on the ground, which is what you need to run a farm, but it has no legal standing for disputes or subdivision. For that you need a licensed cadastral surveyor.
Tell us and we will fix it. Every map states the capture date of the imagery it was built from, so you know what you are looking at. Correcting things the imagery cannot show is exactly what the six-month revision window is for.
PDF maps in both an imagery version and a clean version for printing and marking up, the mapped data as GeoPackage, shapefiles and KML for Google Earth, and a spreadsheet of paddock areas. Baseline Plus adds effective areas, the detailed paddock schedule and any focused maps in your package.
Often, yes. We work remotely, so it depends on suitable imagery and data being available and licensed for your property. Send us the location and we will check before you pay.
