Drones have emerged as a game-changer in the agricultural industry, offering next-level efficiency and precision in crop management. At AgriMAX, we’re proud to leverage the latest advancements in drone technology to empower farmers and agronomists alike. We use a DJI Agras T40, a cutting-edge drone designed specifically for agricultural applications. Operating a drone for agricultural purposes requires a certain level of expertise and compliance with regulations. Our pilots are certified under the FAA Part 107 and hold Minnesota commercial applicators licenses, ensuring that all operations are conducted safely and legally.

Meet Our Drones

Our fleet includes the cutting-edge DJI Agras T40 drone, renowned for its robust performance and reliability in agricultural applications. With its advanced features and capabilities, this drone allows us to spray crops with precision and efficiency, ultimately leading to higher yields and reduced operational costs. This drone is a powerhouse when it comes to crop spraying and management. One of the key advantages of the DJI Agras T40 is its ability to cover large areas in a short amount of time. With a battery life of 10 minutes at full load, our drone can spray 2-5 acres per load, significantly increasing our operational efficiency and allowing us to cover more ground in less time.

Licensing and Piloting Expertise

At AgriMAX, safety and compliance are paramount. Our drone operations are conducted by FAA Part 107-certified pilots, ensuring adherence to all aviation regulations. Currently, drone pilots must maintain a constant line of sight between the visual observer and the drone. Our pilots hold Minnesota commercial applicators licenses, demonstrating our commitment to professionalism and competence in drone application. New technologies and regulations are shaping the way we use drones in farming. 

Industry Evolution: Swarming and Beyond

The agricultural drone industry is evolving rapidly, with notable advancements such as swarming capabilities. Swarming allows multiple drones to be operated by a single pilot and visual observer, paving the way for enhanced efficiency and productivity. While multiple drones can be operated, each requires its pilot, highlighting the need for skilled and certified drone operators.

Potential upcoming FAA approvals for spraying beyond visual line of sight and swarming could start a new era of efficiency in drone applications. These developments open doors to more streamlined and effective crop management practices, benefiting farmers and agronomists.
