A practical application option for today's acres.
Country Roads Ag offers drone application services for operations that need flexibility, precision, and speed across the Midwest. Whether you are addressing in-season needs, hard-to-reach areas, or targeted applications where timing matters, drone technology gives you another way to get the job done.
We approach drone application the same way we approach everything else: with professionalism, communication, and a strong commitment to dependable execution.
When drone application makes sense
Drone application is not always the right tool — but when it is, it gives you a significant advantage. These are the situations where we see drones deliver the clearest value:
- Timing-critical windowsRespond fast when the application window is narrow and ground rigs are sidelined.
- Late-canopy & in-seasonReach crops after the canopy has closed without damaging the stand.
- Wet groundApply after rain when traditional equipment would rut or compact the soil.
- Terraced & hilly groundCover steep or irregular topography that challenges ground rigs.
- Hard-to-access acresSensitive areas, waterways, irregular boundaries, and smaller fields.
- Multi-purpose jobsLiquid spray, dry spreading, and cover crop seeding through one platform.
The best fit depends on your field conditions, application goals, products being applied, and regulatory considerations. We'll help you think through whether drone application is right for your situation.
Built for projects of any size
Whether we're flying two acres or two hundred, our standard is the same: show up prepared, communicate clearly, execute carefully, and follow through until the job is done to your satisfaction. Small targeted jobs and full-field programs get the same attention.
Licensed, insured, and compliant
Commercial drone application in the U.S. requires FAA Part 107 certification, a Part 137 agricultural aircraft operator certificate, a Section 44807 exemption, and state-level applicator licensing. We operate under the full regulatory stack — and we carry insurance on every flight. Ask us about coverage specifics for your project.
