About US Ag Drone Directory
US Ag Drone Directory is a single-author directory of 131+ agricultural drone operators across all 50 US states, founded and personally edited by Eugen. Every listing is independently reviewed against FAA Part 107 and Part 137 records, and every regulatory or pricing page on this site cites primary sources from the FAA, EPA, USDA, or land-grant university extension. The directory exists to give US farmers one trusted place to find verified ag drone operators, regulations, and pricing — without middlemen, commissions, or paywalls.
Why this directory exists
The US agricultural drone services market is growing at over 30% per year. But farmers searching for a local spray operator found generic search results, equipment retailers, and outdated forum threads — not service providers. Operators, on the other side, had no cost-effective way to reach the farmers in their coverage area.
I built US Ag Drone Directory after spending years tracking the agricultural drone industry in European markets, where operator directories are more mature. The US market is larger and more fragmented, but the information problem is the same: farmers need a single trusted place to find verified operators, compare pricing, and understand the FAA, EPA, and state regulations that govern every application.
This site is free for operators to list, free for farmers to use, and will remain that way. It is not a lead-generation marketplace, not an affiliate network, and not a software vendor. It is a directory — researched, verified, and maintained by one person who cares about getting the facts right.
Who runs this site
Eugen is the founder and editor of US Ag Drone Directory. He grew up in an agricultural family in {{COUNTRY_REGION}}, studied {{FIELD_OF_STUDY}} at university, and has worked hands-on with agricultural drone technology in European markets. He built this directory after seeing how scattered and incomplete US ag drone information was for the farmers who need it most. Every page on this site is written or edited by him personally.
How we research
Primary sources only. Every regulatory fact on this site — FAA Part 107 and Part 137 requirements, EPA FIFRA labeling, state pesticide licensing, USDA program rules — cites its primary source directly. No secondary aggregators, no unverified forum posts.
Operator verification. Each listed operator is reviewed against the public FAA Airmen database for Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate, against publicly searchable state pesticide applicator records where available, and by direct contact. Operators displaying the verified badge have completed this review. 113 operators are currently verified.
Pricing data. Per-acre rate ranges are compiled from operator surveys, public quotes, USDA cost-of-production data, and direct interviews. Rates are reviewed each spray season (spring and fall) and updated to reflect current market conditions.
Last-reviewed dates. Every content page displays the date it was last reviewed. Regulatory pages older than 90 days and pricing pages older than 180 days are flagged for refresh before the next season.
What this site is not
I want to be honest about the limits of what this directory can tell you.
- •I am not a licensed Part 137 Agricultural Aircraft Operator and I do not hold a US state pesticide applicator license. I research and write about the regulations — I don't perform commercial applications.
- •This site is not legal advice and is not a law firm. FAA and EPA rules change. State pesticide rules vary widely. Verify every regulatory requirement with the FAA, EPA, and your state Department of Agriculture before operating commercially.
- •Operator listings are a good-faith review, not a guarantee. Always verify an operator's current certifications, insurance, and references before hiring.
