What it takes to spray corn in Oklahoma
Fungicide for tar spot and gray leaf spot at VT–R1 over a tall canopy is the classic drone job — low carrier volume, fast wide passes.
- Carrier volume: 2–3 GPA — higher volumes cost more per acre (more refills, fewer acres/hour).
- Typical passes: 1–2 (fungicide at tassel, ± a foliar/nitrogen pass).
- Grown in Oklahoma: 225,365 harvested acres (USDA Census of Agriculture 2022) — so there’s real, sprayable corn acreage for operators here.
How big is a typical corn field in Oklahoma?
The average Oklahoma corn operation works about 416 acres of corn (USDA Census of Agriculture 2022, 542 operations) — so at these rates a field that size runs about $3,328–$6,656 per application. That’s an average across whole operations; a single field is usually smaller. Corn field sizes & cost in Oklahoma →
