Agricultural drone services for soybeans in Nebraska. Typical rate: $12–$18/acre/acre
Soybeans cover over 87 million acres in the U.S. Drone applications target white mold, frogeye leaf spot, and soybean aphids at the R2–R3 growth stage. Purdue University trials showed drone applications at 2 and 5 gallons per acre were equally effective as ground applications for frogeye leaf spot reduction. Drones eliminate the compaction and crop damage that costs 4–6% of yield from ground equipment.

Drone spraying on soybeans 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.
