Why drone spraying
Cover every acre. Compact none of it.
Spray drones reach what ground rigs and planes can’t — precisely, and without tearing up your soil. And they get better every season: bigger tanks, more acres an hour, tighter precision.
No soil compaction
Fly above the canopy — no heavy wheels packing soil or crushing rows on wet ground.
Reaches tough fields
Wet ground, tall canopy, terraces, point rows, odd-shaped parcels — go where ground rigs can't.
Precise & low-drift
Centimeter-accurate GPS puts product exactly where it's needed — with far less drift.
Fair per-acre pricing
Competitive with manned aerial — and you get centimeter precision and zero compaction, not just coverage.
How it works
Find and hire in three steps — free
Hiring a drone to spray your fields is simpler than most growers expect — and the drones get more capable every season, from RTK spot spraying (GPS accurate to within half an inch) to bigger tanks covering more acres an hour. No account to create, no fee to you.
Free for farmers — operators respond directly with availability and pricing.

The Illinois drone-spraying cost report breaks those rates down by crop, with sources. Then request free quotes from operators who serve Moultrie County for a firm price.
- Which crops do drone operators spray around Moultrie County?
- Around Moultrie County, drone operators most often treat corn, soybeans, alfalfa & hay and wheat. Drones apply with RTK precision and variable-rate control on any field, and they especially shine on tall canopies, wet or flooded ground, and steep or irregular fields where a ground sprayer can't go without compaction or crop loss.
- Do operators in Moultrie County need a license?
- Yes. Commercial drone spraying requires an FAA Part 137 agricultural aircraft operator certificate (plus a Part 107 remote pilot certificate, and a Section 44807 exemption for drones over 55 lbs) and a commercial pesticide applicator license from the Illinois Department of Agriculture. Every operator listed on Ag Drone Sprayers is asked to document these credentials.
- Is drone spraying the same as crop dusting near Moultrie County?
- Essentially, yes — drone spraying is the modern form of crop dusting. Traditional crop dusting used low-flying manned aircraft; today, around Moultrie County, the same job (applying fungicides, herbicides, and fertility from the air) is increasingly done by unmanned spray drones. Drones fly lower and slower, drift less, need no airstrip, and can treat small, wet, or irregular fields a plane can't — which is why many growers searching for a "crop duster" now hire a drone operator.
- How many farms are in Moultrie County?
- Moultrie County, Illinois has 480 farm operations working 197,600 acres of land in farms — an average of 412 acres per farm, per the USDA Census of Agriculture 2022.
- What crops are grown in Moultrie County?
- By Census acreage, the top crops in Moultrie County are corn (88,026 acres), soybeans (72,960 acres), alfalfa & hay (1,300 acres), wheat (857 acres) — all ground that agricultural drone operators commonly spray, seed, or spread on.
