Agricultural drone services for corn in Nebraska. Typical rate: $12–$18/acre/acre
Corn is the largest crop in the United States at over 90 million acres, and fungicide application at the VT/R1 (tassel) stage is the number one use case for drone spraying in America. Drones are the only practical option once corn exceeds 6–8 feet because ground rigs cannot clear the canopy. University research from Beck's Hybrids shows drone-applied fungicide at 2–3 gpa matches ground rig results at 15–20 gpa, with no yield loss from trampling.

Drone spraying on corn 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.
