Drones for custom applicators and spraying businesses in Canada
Custom applicators, ag retailers and new spraying businesses add drones for the jobs their ground rigs and airplanes can't reach: wet fields, small and irregular blocks, edges, orchards and cover crops.
How do I start a drone spraying business?
Get the licences, choose the equipment, insure the business and start with local farms and crop advisors. The business guide covers each step. Drones now take some of the small fields that used to wait for a crop duster.
Challenges for Custom applicators and spraying businesses
What slows a spraying business down, and what fixes it.
Jobs the ground rig can't reach
Wet fields, tall crops and small blocks that aren't worth an airplane.
Refills and charging set the pace
Acres per day depend on water, mixing, batteries and power, not on the tank.
Licences and insurance
Advanced pilot certificates, provincial aerial licences and drift insurance for every pilot and province.
Seasonal, local demand
Work comes in short windows close to home, so routing and timing matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Partners in our partner program are the first we call when a farm asks us to fly a job nearby. To join you need an interest in the work and the Transport Canada Advanced certificate. Registering isn't a promise of work.
A Transport Canada Advanced pilot certificate per pilot and the provincial aerial pesticide licence for each province you work in. See the regulations guide.
Most start with the Agras T50 and add a T100 when refills limit billable acres. Leasing keeps cash for batteries and a trailer: see financing, or ask about certified pre-owned units.
