Spray Drones & Finding the Right Operator

In this What's Working in Ag segment, Tanner and Mikaya Spires from Spray Drone Network join Farm4Profit to explain how their platform is helping connect growers with qualified, licensed drone applicators across the country. What started as a simple question—"How do I find a reliable spray drone operator?"—has quickly grown into a nationwide network serving farmers, applicators, dealers, and industry professionals.

The discussion covers:

How Spray Drone Network was created
The rapid growth of spray drone applications across agriculture
Why licensing and professionalism matter
What farmers should ask before hiring a drone applicator
The difference between being a drone pilot and being a professional applicator
Finding qualified operators by location and application type
Cover crops, fungicides, herbicides, specialty crops, and more
The business side of running a drone application operation
New opportunities for young entrepreneurs entering agriculture
Education, training, and community-building within the drone industry
The role of technology, software, and logistics in successful drone operations

Tanner and Mikaya also discuss the challenges facing new operators, including equipment setup, application knowledge, chemical handling, business management, and customer expectations. Their mission is simple: help grow the spray drone industry while ensuring farmers have access to trustworthy and qualified operators.

Whether you're a farmer looking for aerial application options, a custom applicator considering drones, or someone curious about the future of precision agriculture, this episode provides an inside look at one of the fastest-growing segments in ag technology.
