Sources & confidence

Arkansas estimate · high confidence · data as of 2026 — Row-crop application-only band anchored on the UADA 2025 enterprise-budget custom aerial figure of $10/acre (manned fixed-wing); Delta drone operators quote $14-$18, so typical set to $11 with high $16 to bridge manned and drone. Arkansas is a dense, mature aerial-application market (rice/soybean/cotton) with heavy manned-applicator competition suppressing rates ~5-10% below Iowa, hence costIndex 0.92. Specialty band reflects cotton defoliation and sweet-potato/pecan work; no significant vineyard culture, so lower-to-mid national specialty range.
