What's the average farm field size in Ohio?

It depends on the crop. USDA's 2022 Census puts Ohio at about 211 acres of soybeans per operation down to roughly 63 acres of wheat. See the table above for each crop.

Is operation size the same as a single field?

No — these figures are crop acreage per farm, and most farms split that across several fields, so an individual field is typically smaller. Trace your field on satellite with the field mapper for its real acreage.

How much does drone spraying cost in Ohio?

Roughly $7–$20/acre for application, varying by crop, passes, and carrier volume. Use the calculator above or open a crop for its field-size cost table.
