Agricultural drone services for cotton in Missouri. Typical rate: $14–$20/acre/acre
Cotton covers approximately 10 million acres in the U.S. Southeast, Texas, and Southwest. Drone spraying is critical for defoliant and boll opener applications in September and October, when soft Delta soils limit ground rig access and neighboring soybean fields rule out airplane application. Drones also handle insecticide applications for bollworm and plant bug pressure mid-season without soil compaction.

Drone spraying on cotton offers several advantages: zero soil compaction, ability to operate when fields are too wet for tractors, GPS-guided uniform coverage at 95%+ accuracy, and the ability to treat small or irregularly shaped fields. It also reduces product waste by 20–30% compared to ground equipment.
