Sources & confidence
Rhode Island estimate · low confidence · data as of 2026 — No RI in-state aerial/drone custom-rate source exists. Derived from the Northeast (PA/NY) analog ($15–25/ac) and scaled to ~1.48x Iowa — the highest in the contiguous lower-48 alongside CA — because RI is the smallest, most fragmented farm market in the US: minimal contiguous acreage, near-zero resident spray-drone operators (jobs served by out-of-state operators charging trip/minimum-acre premiums), and very high labor/permitting cost. The premium reflects mobilization economics on tiny farms, not market depth. Spread widened ~15%. Specialty band covers vineyards, orchards, and nursery/turf.
