Our commitment is to pushing the envelope in Organic Farming. We are excited to be one of the nations first Custom Drone Applicators for Agriculture.
Our custom drone application service allows us to achieve:
In the State of Minnesota, there are programs that help farmers cover the cost of cover crops planted in season. We utilize a drone to frost seed cover crops and cover crop inter-seeding.

Traditionally, farmers have seeded their cover crops in the fall, or late spring after their crop has been planted.
Frost seeding your cover crops with a drone is one of the best ways to get earlier growth out of a cover crop. When frost seeding, a drone can seed a cover crop into a field before a tractor could ever work that same ground.
As a result, one of the major benefits to frost seeding cover crops with a drone is that you can get a month (or more) of cover crop growth.
Frost seeding with a drone maximizes the potential of your cover crop:

The photo to the right (or below, if you’re on a mobile device) shows a cover crop that was seeded with a drone during August of 2022.
In this example, our farmer harvested his corn crop and grazed cattle into the winter on this same ground.
As a result, the farmer was able to improve the efficiency of the field, saving on feed costs, capturing Nitrogen, and having the cows spread the manure throughout their grazing process.
On top of this, the farmer was able to take advantage of a cover crop incentive program that paid for the cover crop seed and application costs with a drone.
Here in Wright County where we’re located, farmers can take advantage of a cover crop incentive program that helps to reduce (or, in certain cases, eliminate) the cost of putting a cover crop program to work on your farm.
Cover crop incentive programs in Minnesota vary from county to county. Additionally, farmers can take of the NRCS cover crop incentive program.
We have experience dealing with cover crop incentive programs in nearly every county in Minnesota.
Minnesota Cover Crop Incentive Program Case Studies:
Incentive programs for cover crops are available for cash crops as well as for cover crops as livestock forage.

Utilizing a drone to aerial seed cover crops provides a great advantage to farmers who are using, or looking to utilize cover crops in their standing cash crop.

Frost seeding is the process of seeding a cover crop, or any crop, into ground that is currently frozen. Frost seeding works well for cover crop seeding because the natural thawing process of frozen ground works seed into the soil for improved spring-time germination.
Frost seeding provides a great benefit to farmers, especially through the use of cover crops, because it allows the cover crops to get an early jump on spring growth. In turn, this reduces overall weed pressure and maximizes their Nitrogen fixing efficiency throughout the season.
