Sources & confidence
Florida estimate · low confidence · data as of 2026 — No Florida aerial/drone custom-rate survey with per-acre figures found (UF/IFAS publishes technical/regulatory guidance only). Highest index in the Southeast: derived from Georgia's 2024 UGA survey scaled up ~17% because Florida work skews to high-value specialty (citrus, vegetables) with complex grove geometry, high labor, frequent passes, and a thin row-crop drone operator base. Spread widened ~15% per low-confidence rule. Still well below California.
