Questions
Drone Crop Scouting in Indiana: FAQ
- What can drone crop scouting catch?
- Pest and disease pressure, weed escapes, stand problems and storm or hail damage, across the whole field in minutes instead of the few spots you can walk. Problem areas come back pinned on a map, so you or your agronomist walk straight to them and treat while the fix is still cheap.
- How much does drone crop scouting cost in Indiana?
- Usually a few dollars an acre. Iowa State's 2022 custom-rate survey put drone scouting at about $4.30 an acre (range $2–$7.50), a little under the $5.05 for scouting on foot. Price depends on acres, how often you want flights and whether you want an agronomist's write-up. Compare quotes from the 5 Indiana operators listed here.
- How often should I scout by drone?
- At the stages that drive decisions (after emergence, before key sprays, after storms), and more often when pest or disease pressure is building. A drone covers a big or hard-to-walk field in minutes, so weekly flights through the critical stretch are practical in a way walking every acre isn't.
- Can the same operator scout and then treat what they find?
- Often, yes. Many scouting operators also fly spray drones, so the flight that finds a problem can become a spot-treatment the same week. That closes the gap between spotting trouble and fixing it, which is where yield is saved.
- Does a scouting operator need a license?
- A commercial scouting flight needs an FAA Part 107 remote pilot certificate. Scouting doesn't apply anything, so the flight itself needs no Part 137 certificate or pesticide license, though an operator who also sprays will hold those too.
