Services and Rates, in Plain Words

Drone spray application

Herbicides, fungicides and insecticides on any crop whose label allows aerial application: wheat, barley, potatoes, sugar beets, alfalfa and hay, corn, canola, dry beans, chickpeas, peas and lentils, onions, safflower, mint, and whatever else sits in your rotation. No wheel tracks, so no yield lost to rig traffic. Wet ground under a pivot never stops us.

• Aircraft: Hylio ATLAS, built in Texas, NDAA compliant. 30 gallon tank, 40 foot swath. Two aircraft fly together.
• Planning figure: 200 acres an hour for the fleet, 2,000 acres in a day at standard 2 gallon per acre work. We stay until your day is done.
• Water: 1,000 gallon tank and a 200 gpm fill pump on the trailer. We fill from your pivot, well or ditch with your permission, or haul water in.
• Every product label is read with the jug in hand before the job goes on the schedule. The label sets the rate, the wind limit, the buffers and the re-entry time.

Rates

• As low as $12 per acre with a multi-season agreement, for standard 2 gallon per acre work. The longer the agreement, the lower the rate.
• Travel is free inside 75 road miles of the Blackfoot yard. Farther out, travel is quoted once per trip and shown on your quote.
• Every quote shows the full price, travel included, before you commit. No deposit for a normal job. A weather day never carries a charge.
• Small fields work best added to a bigger day nearby or combined with a neighbor. Call with your acres and we tell you straight whether the trip pencils.

The season agreement

• Pick one, two or three seasons. Name your fields and commit all acres on them to our spray service each season.
• Your rate holds for every season the agreement covers. Longer agreements carry lower rates.
• It arrives by text or email. Read it and sign it from your phone.

Add-on services, quoted per job

• Field mapping. Boundaries, pivots, wet spots and hazards from the Hylio PHOTON scout drone.
• Stand counts. Plant counts across the field from aerial images, so replant calls rest on numbers.
• Granular spreading. Dry fertilizer and granular product from the ATLAS spreader: 45 gallon hopper, 26 foot swath.
• Cover crop seeding. Seed flown into standing crop or fresh stubble with no ground traffic on your field.
• Crop health scans. Coming. Multispectral scans to spot stress, nutrient gaps and disease early.

Credentials and insurance

Drone spraying takes an FAA Part 107 pilot certificate, an FAA Part 137 agricultural aircraft operator certificate, a Section 44807 exemption for aircraft over 55 pounds, Idaho pesticide licenses and liability coverage. Ours are in progress for the 2027 season. No paid job flies until every one is in hand. Ask for the certificate of insurance before you schedule, and we send it.
