Drone-based aerial application delivers precision treatment where ground equipment cannot go, with less soil disturbance, less drift risk, and better coverage on difficult terrain and sensitive landscapes.

What We Do

Aerial application services
for challenging terrain and precision needs.

Every service is conducted under FAA regulations and best management practices for aerial application, tailored to project-specific site conditions and landowner goals.

Invasive Species & Selective Herbicide Application

Targeted aerial spraying for invasive and noxious weeds using precision drone platforms designed to minimize off-target impacts. Effective for cheatgrass, knapweed, houndstongue, leafy spurge, and other rangeland invaders.

Cropland Herbicide, Fungicide & Fertilizer Applications

Efficient aerial treatment of cropland where traditional ground equipment is limited by terrain, crop stage, or field access. Consistent coverage without soil compaction or crop damage from equipment traffic.

Granular Chemical Aerial Spreading

Even distribution of granular products across difficult or sensitive landscapes using the RevoCast system. Adjustable application rates across irregular terrain with far less soil disturbance than mechanical spreaders.

Aerial Seeding

Broadcast seeding for restoration, reclamation, and difficult-to-access areas. Effective for post-treatment revegetation, rangeland restoration, and erosion control projects on steep, remote, or sensitive terrain.

Operations

Professional, compliant,
and reliable.

All operations are conducted with a focus on safety, precision, and regulatory compliance. Services are tailored to project-specific needs whether working with private landowners, agricultural producers, or public agencies.

01

Pre-Flight Planning

Site evaluation, weather and drift risk assessment, flight path planning, and label-compliant application parameter review completed before every mission.

02

Regulatory Compliance

All operations conducted under FAA Part 137 agricultural aircraft exemption and Part 107 small UAS rules. Montana Certified Applicator. Full documentation maintained for every project.

03

Terrain & Access Advantages

No soil compaction or crop damage. Access to steep, wet, or remote areas inaccessible to ground equipment. Targeted treatment rather than full-field broadcast for sensitive landscapes.

04

Coordination & Documentation

Direct coordination with landowners and agency partners throughout each project. Application documentation provided as required by project scope or regulatory requirements.
