Sources & confidence

Connecticut estimate · low confidence · data as of 2026 — No CT extension custom-rate survey breaks out aerial/drone application. Derived from the Northeast (PA/NY) analog of $15–25/ac, then scaled UP ~1.45x Iowa because CT has the region's smallest, most fragmented high-value blocks (orchards, nursery, vineyards), essentially no resident spray-drone operators (heavy travel/mobilization premiums), and the highest farm labor/cost-of-business in New England. Spread widened ~15% for derivation uncertainty. Specialty band reflects orchard/vineyard multi-pass work on tiny irregular parcels. Note: tied with CA on index but driven by service-minimum/mobilization premiums on tiny farms, not market depth.
