Satellite monitoring for agriculture

Hi,
I hope this is not going to be too much off-topic...
I need to monitor an agricultural area of about 1200 hectares in
eastern europe (hungary/bulgaria): every 2-3 days we have to check the
progress of work on soil (plough, sow, etc)
so I'm looking for a satellite provider that give us images similar to
google-maps but with 2-5 days update.

Could you help me in any way?

Thanks in advance
Guido

Ikonos may fit your bill:
1) 3 days revisit time at 40° Lat (Bulgaria + Hungary is between 40° and
48°).
2) 1 meter resolution even when off nadir.

Hi,
I've just had a feedback from satimaging corp for Ikonos... they can
provide the images in 30-90 days, assuming the cloud cover conditions
are good enough.
For this monitoring project I'd need to have images faster, 2-5 days
would be optimal... 10-15 days the maximum

Any (much appreciated) advice?

Thanks in advance!

Hmm... it seems Ikonos is fully booked.

You may try Quickbird, WorldView-1 or EROS-A/B:
