Sources & confidence

Massachusetts estimate · low confidence · data as of 2026 — No MA extension survey breaks out aerial/drone rates. Derived from the Northeast (PA/NY) analog ($15–25/ac) scaled ~1.42x Iowa for MA's specialty-heavy mix (cranberry bogs, apples, vineyards, vegetables) on small diverse farms, scarce resident operators, and high labor cost. Cranberry/orchard work pushes the specialty band high (multiple passes, awkward access where helicopters/ground rigs are impractical). Spread widened ~15% for derivation uncertainty.
