Drone Crop Spray — Southern Indiana and Northern Kentucky
Certifications In Process. GPS-Logged. Available When Your Window Opens.
Commercial-scale drone chemical application for corn, soybeans, wheat, tobacco, hemp, and specialty vegetable operations in the Southern Indiana and Northern Kentucky corridor.
The Window Problem Is Real. It Has a Cost.
You know the sequence. Fungicide pressure builds. Weather finally breaks. You have 48–72 hours before the window closes again. Your options:
Your ground rig is occupied — or it's too wet to run without compaction damage
Every spray operator in the region is running at full capacity during peak windows
Manned aircraft application may not be cost-effective at your acreage scale
So you wait. The window closes. You make the call you didn't want to make. And at harvest, you do the math.
The problem isn't the weather. The problem is not having a spray option available when the window opens. Ager Aero is that option.

$12/acre standard rate. $18/acre for emergency schedule-disruption requests (when we rearrange existing bookings to fit your timing). $350 minimum charge, 30-acre minimum per engagement.
Operates where ground equipment cannot — standing water at field margins, soft wet ground, fields still recovering from heavy rainfall. No soil compaction. No ruts.

The Credentials Behind the Application
The drone spray market in this corridor is growing fast because demand is outpacing available capacity. Ager Aero is entering the market with the right certifications in place — because that's the only way to do this right.
FAA Part 137 / Section 44807 is the agricultural aircraft operator certification required for commercial pesticide application from the air. It's not the same as having a drone pilot's license.
FAA Part 137 and state pesticide applicator certifications are actively in process — we will not spray until fully licensed
GPS application records will be provided for every job — suitable for crop insurance and FSA documentation
Transparency first: we'll confirm our certification status before taking any booking
Questions Before You Call
Is my operation big enough to justify drone spraying?
Ager Aero serves operations from 30 to 2,000+ acres. Drone spray is a strong fit when your existing spray capacity is stretched, when your fields have wet or irregular terrain, or when you want a dedicated option available during your critical application windows. If you're already working with a ground applicator or another spray service, drone can complement that relationship — not replace it.
How does GPS logging work, and why does it matter?
Every application pass is logged by GPS and linked to a timestamp. At the end of the job, you receive a documented record showing where, when, and what was applied. For crop insurance reporting, FSA documentation, and landlord accountability, this is evidence — not a note in someone's logbook.
Does drone spraying work on my terrain?
Drone application is particularly well-suited to hilly, irregular, or wet terrain where getting ground equipment in and out is difficult or risks compaction damage. If you farm hill-ground or low-lying fields in Southern Indiana or Kentucky, drone application is worth a conversation — it's a different tool with real advantages on that kind of ground.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
We understand that ag timing is weather-dependent. Cancellation and rescheduling terms are confirmed at booking — we work with the season, not against it.
