Agricultural drone services for rice in Oklahoma. Typical rate: $14–$22/acre/acre
Rice is grown on approximately 2.5 million acres in Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Missouri. Drone spraying is especially effective in rice because the flooded field conditions make ground equipment impractical for much of the growing season. Applications include fungicide for blast and sheath blight, and herbicide for barnyardgrass control. Drones fly over standing water without any ground contact.

Drone spraying on rice 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.
