Agricultural drones for Canadian farms: field crops, orchards and forage
Grain and oilseed farms, orchards, vineyards and forage growers use drones for the passes a ground rig can't make in time: fungicide on wet ground, cover crops seeded before harvest, fertilizer on soft fields, and maps that show where to scout.
Is a drone worth it for my farm?
When it saves a pass you would otherwise miss or hire out: a fungicide window on wet ground, cover crops seeded before harvest, or patches a sprayer can't reach. See spray drones and cover crop seeding. Potato and forage growers: see late blight spraying and pasture seeding.
Challenges for Farms
What gets in the way on Canadian farms, and how a drone helps.
Missed spray windows
Wet ground, tall corn or a booked custom applicator can cost a fungicide pass at the stage that matters.
Cover crops seeded too late
After harvest there is often too little fall left for a cover crop to establish.
Compaction and wheel tracks
Driving on soft fields or through a standing crop costs yield and soil structure.
Not knowing where to look
Problems show up unevenly; walking every acre on a schedule misses patches.
Solutions Built for Farms

An Ontario fruit farm buys a T50 when the funding lines up
Challenge
After an on-farm demo the farm liked the T50 but needed to sort out the money before buying.
Solution
When a provincial cost-share intake opened, the farm needed an itemized supplier quote within days, and we turned it around overnight. The farm came back when it was ready and chose a certified pre-owned T50 package with a spreader and an extra tank, with staged payments before delivery.
Result
A deposit confirmed the order, followed by inspection, delivery and setup with the farm's crew. About a year passed from the first quote, which is common for a first drone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most farms start with the Agras T50. Add the Mavic 3M if you want maps to decide where to treat. You can watch drones fly at farm shows or on your own farm.
