Agricultural drone services for wheat in Alabama. Typical rate: $12–$16/acre/acre
Winter and spring wheat totals approximately 45 million acres annually in the U.S. Drone fungicide at the T3/heading stage targets Fusarium head blight (scab), stripe rust, and leaf rust. The Great Plains (Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska) and Pacific Northwest (Washington) are the primary markets. Drone spraying is increasingly competitive with airplane application, especially for smaller or irregularly shaped fields.
