DirtFlight is not a drone photography service. To get aerial photos of land in Nebraska, enter the county and the APN, or draw the boundary on the map or upload a file. The pack renders in about ten minutes: an outlined top down, four cardinal 3D views, an 18 second orbit video, a hosted listing page and a parcel info sheet, with full resolution files of every view. Nobody flies out, so there is no travel charge, and it works anywhere in Nebraska. Dirt is $29 a parcel and Paydirt $79, or $199 a month for PayDirt Pro (20 Paydirt packs a month). Paydirt adds a contour map, the road frontage hero, the infrared land health view, the full social kit with platform captions, a posting plan and silent reels, pop-out photos from nine directions, the interactive 3D explorer and the measured diligence layers.

Ranches too big to see from a pickup.
A Nebraska ranch can run several sections, and nobody drives all of it on a showing. What sells it is the layout: where the water is, how the pastures are fenced, which meadows cut hay, where the blowouts are. On pivot ground, whether the circle is fully on the tract at all.
A ranch in Cherry County renders in the same ten minutes as a quarter in Douglas County, and windmills, tanks, meadows and cross fencing read plainly from above.
Boundaries are approximate and are not a survey.
One parcel. Everything below.
One parcel. Pine Ridge canyon country in Sioux County. Ponderosa on the west line, a timbered creek down the middle, chalk bluffs on the rim, and 624 feet of relief across 243 acres.

Where Nebraska land actually trades.
These are the counties land buyers ask about most.
Any Nebraska county works: type the parcel number, draw the boundary on the map, or upload a KML, KMZ, GeoJSON or zipped shapefile. Try your APN free, and if a parcel will not come up from its number you hear that before anything is charged.

Asked by people selling Nebraska ground.
Which Nebraska counties can you do?
Any Nebraska county works. Send the county and the APN and DirtFlight renders the pack. If a parcel will not come up from its number, you hear that before anything is charged, and you can draw the boundary on the map or upload a KML, KMZ, GeoJSON or zipped shapefile instead. The pack comes back the same.
What Nebraska land are packs ordered for?
Irrigated cropland under center pivots, Sandhills grass and ranch land, dryland farms, river bottoms, and hunting tracts. Typical uses there: farmland, ranch and pasture sales, hunting and recreation, and land held by family operations.
Can you cover a whole multi-section ranch?
Yes. Adjoining parcels entered together merge into one boundary, so a ranch made of a dozen APNs renders as a single outline instead of a dozen separate images. That is the main reason ranch sellers use it.
Will windmills, tanks and cross fences be visible?
Typically. Tanks, windmills, cross fences, corrals and the trailed paths cattle wear in are all visible from above, and subirrigated meadow reads darker than dry grass. The contour map shows the hills and blowouts.
Is the Nebraska parcel ID what I enter, and where do I find it?
In Nebraska, the number to look for is the parcel ID on the county record. Enter the county and the APN as it appears on the tax record, or a street address, and DirtFlight draws the boundary. If a parcel will not come up from its number, you are told before anything is charged, and you can draw the boundary on the map or upload a boundary file instead.
What do pivots, Sandhills and river bottoms look like from above in Nebraska?
Pivot circles and their corners, windmills and tanks, cross fences, shelterbelts, and river bottom timber against open ground. The boundary is drawn on every view, and the imagery is the most recent aerial available for that county, usually one to three years old, with the date on the pack.
