Drone Spraying

How much area can you spray in a day? +

This depends on field conditions, terrain, and weather, but our drones can typically cover 15-25 acres per hour. We can spray 120-200 acres in a full day depending on the complexity of the job.

What chemicals can you apply? +

We can apply any aerial approved agricultural chemical including herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides. You can provide your own chemicals or we can source them for you.

Can you spray when fields are too wet for ground equipment? +

Yes! This is one of the biggest advantages of drone spraying. Our drones can access fields that are too wet, muddy, or otherwise inaccessible to traditional ground sprayers.

How accurate is drone spraying? +

Our drones use GPS guidance with ±1 inch accuracy, ensuring precise application exactly where you need it. This precision reduces waste and prevents overspray onto non-target areas.

What is the tank capacity? +

Our drones have up to 10-gallon (40-liter) tank capacity, allowing for efficient coverage with minimal refill stops.

Scheduling & Weather

How far in advance do I need to schedule? +

We recommend scheduling at least a week in advance, though we can often accommodate shorter notice during non-peak seasons. For critical timing (like pre-emergent applications), contact us as soon as possible.

What happens if weather conditions aren't suitable? +

Safety and quality are our top priorities. If weather conditions aren't suitable (high winds, rain, etc.), we'll reschedule at no charge. We monitor weather closely and will notify you if we need to adjust the schedule.

Can you work on weekends? +

Yes, we offer flexible scheduling including weekends and early mornings to work around your schedule and optimal application timing.

What wind speeds are safe for drone operations? +

For spraying, we operate in winds up to 10 mph (dependant on chemical label). For photography and mapping, we can safely fly in slightly higher winds. We always prioritize safety and quality results.

Pricing & Payment

How do you charge for services? +

Pricing varies based on the service, acreage, location, and specific requirements. Spraying is typically priced per acre and photography by session or package. Contact us for a detailed quote.

What forms of payment do you accept? +

We accept cash and checks. For larger projects, we can arrange payment terms.

Is there a minimum charge? +

Yes, we have a minimum service charge to cover mobilization costs. Contact us for specific details based on your location and service needs.
