Frequently asked questions
Most farmers prefer to supply their own chemical so they can track own rebates and brand preferences. We arrive with a professional mixing trailer and high-speed loading system. We handle the water, the mixing, and the triple-rinsing. You just tell us where the chemical is, and we take it from there.
Unlike a plane flying at 100+ mph at 50 feet, we fly at roughly 15-20 mph at a height of 10 feet. Because we are so close to the crop and our droplets are electronically controlled for size, our drift profile is significantly lower than a crop duster. If the wind exceeds 10–12 mph, we ground the fleet. We’re here to protect your crop, not drift onto your neighbor's.
This is the big one. We operate under FAA Part 137 (Aerial Application) and carry full chemical liability insurance. We handle all the flight authorizations and paperwork. When we’re on your land, the liability is on us, not you.
All we need is a flat spot to park a truck/trailer (a field approach or a dry turn-row) and the boundaries of the field. If you have Shapefiles (.shp) or MyJohnDeere maps, we can plug them directly into our flight controllers for inch-perfect accuracy. If not, we can map the boundaries manually on-site.
Yes. In fact, many fungicides and insecticides perform better when applied at night or in the early morning when the air is "heavy" and the plant stomata are open. Our drones are equipped with high-intensity lighting and radar to operate 24/7 during the peak window.
Depending on the field size and the rate (GPA), a single drone crew can comfortably cover 300 to 500 acres per day. If you have a larger block that needs to be hit fast, we can deploy multiple "swarming" drones to double or triple that capacity.
Absolutely. Recent 3-year trials show drone-applied fungicide can deliver a $13.17/acre ROI, compared to just $3.13/acre for traditional planes. That’s more than a 300% increase in potential return.
We work with operations of all sizes. Whether you have a 40-acre "problem patch" that a plane won't touch, or 4,000 acres of broadacre corn, we have the fleet capacity to handle it. For smaller or "chopped up" fields, we may apply a small setup fee, but we take pride in being more flexible than traditional aerial applicators.
Planes fly too high and too fast. We fly at lower altitudes and slower speeds, using the drone's air blast to force product into the lower canopy. You get better chemical performance and zero off-target drift.
Yes. We use heavy-duty, high-volume equipment designed to move through large fields quickly. You get the speed of a flight service with the precision of a ground rig.
We are local. When a crop duster service is backed up across five counties, we are right here in Northeast Missouri. We can hit those tight application windows the moment the weather breaks, so you aren't stuck on a waiting list while your crop needs attention.
