Drone spraying services
for Canadian farms
We fly spraying, seeding, spreading and mapping jobs with DJI Agras and Mavic 3M drones. Every job starts with an assessment of the label, the field, the airspace and your window.
How booking a job works
- Send the job. Crop, product or seed, acres, location and the window you need.
- Job assessment. We check the label, the field, the airspace and the licences the job needs.
- Written quote and dates. Mobilization, rate, what's included and what happens if the weather stops the job.
- We fly it. On the agreed dates, weather permitting, with a record of the product, rate, field and weather for each job.
What the assessment checks
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Product label | It must allow aerial application and not exclude drones; the water volume can't go below the label's aerial minimum |
| Field and obstacles | Hydro lines, shelterbelts, buildings, water and neighbours decide routes and buffer zones |
| Province and licence | Pesticide work needs the provincial aerial licence; some sites need a permit |
| Airspace | Fields near airports or in controlled airspace need permission |
| Timing and weather | The crop stage window and the label's wind limits |
| Acres and access | Water, mixing and a safe staging area at the field edge |
Jobs we fly
- Fungicide and crop spraying in wheat, soybeans, corn and canola; see how drones compare with crop dusting.
- Potato fungicide passes when the rows are too wet for the sprayer.
- Cover crop and pasture seeding. Cover crops and pasture seeding.
- Granular fertilizer spreading on wet or irregular fields.
- Orchard and vineyard spraying on slopes.
- Field mapping before an application.
- Greenhouse shading on glass roofs, on and off each season.
Availability depends on your province, the product label and the season. If a job can't be flown legally or safely, we say so before you book. Work on water, such as mosquito larviciding, also needs a provincial permit.
What sets the price of drone spraying
There is no flat rate. Every job is quoted in writing after the assessment, and the quote shows:
- Mobilization: travel to your farm and setup.
- Minimum charge for small jobs.
- Rate per acre or hectare. Jobs that use more water cost more: a 50 L/ha (about 5.3 US gal/ac) fungicide job takes far more refills than seeding.
- Who supplies the product and whether water is included.
- Weather terms: what happens if wind or rain stops the job.
Compare quotes on the same acres, rate and timing. If you spray every season, compare the cost of hiring with owning an Agras T50 with financing.

Frequently asked questions
Do you offer drone spraying near me?
Send your location, crop, acres and window. After the job assessment we tell you whether we can fly it on your dates and send a written quote.
How much does drone spraying cost per acre?
It depends on acres, travel, water volume, the product and timing. Our written quote shows mobilization, any minimum charge, the per-acre rate and the weather terms.
What licences does a drone spraying job need?
A Transport Canada Advanced pilot certificate, a registered drone with a Transport Canada safety declaration for the operation, the provincial aerial pesticide licence and the insurance your province requires. See drone spraying rules in Canada. Saskatchewan, for example, created a separate drone licence category for commercial applicators in 2026.
Can a drone spray my product?
Only if its label allows aerial application and doesn't say DO NOT apply by RPAS (the regulators' word for a drone), at no less than the aerial water volume. We check the label during the job assessment.
Do you seed cover crops or spread fertilizer as well?
Yes, we fly seeding and spreading jobs too. See cover crop seeding, pasture seeding and fertilizer spreading.
Is it better to hire drone spraying or buy a drone?
Hiring suits occasional jobs. If you spray or seed every season, compare the cost per acre with owning an Agras T50, including batteries, training and insurance. We don't rent drones right now; see your options.
