It’s no secret drones are becoming increasingly popular on America’s farms. As demand for drone data rises, so too do the number of companies that can provide it. Despite the FAA’s supposed restriction on the use of agricultural drones, the space is attracting more dollars and getting more crowded every day.
If you are looking to fly on the farm, it is important to identify exactly what your goal is before you buy so you can find the platform that best aligns with your needs. After all, these drones require a significant investment of both time and money.
To help get you started, here are some of the companies that have emerged as key players in the space and provide some of the most comprehensive aerial agricultural solutions on the market.
AgDrone:
Oregon-based HoneyComb provides an all-in-one hardware/software/data storage solution with their AgDrone. The drone itself can be outfitted with an array of sensors including thermal imaging, stereoscopic and multispectral NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index). All data collected by the AgDrone is stored on the HoneyComb servers and can be accessed from any computer but the package includes a tablet that puts control and data acquisition literally at your finger tips.
Autonomous flights can be plotted and saved right on the tablet. There is no need for any extra hardware.
eBee Ag:
senseFly’s eBee Ag drone is a version of its popular eBee platform custom-fit to fly down on the farm. The drone comes standard with an infrared camera, but optional add ons can give users the capability to create 3D thermal maps of a field.
senseFly’s eMotion flight planning and control software (for PCs and Windows tablets) allows users to plan and simulate a flight before takeoff and then monitor the flight or make edits to the route while the drone is in the air. eMotion is also compatible with Google Earth.
Lancaster:
PrecisionHawk’s Lancaster is a soup-to-nuts solution constructed with first time flyers in mind. The purchase of a Lancaster includes a free 30 minute online class, but PrecisionHawk offers options for hands on training at one of their sites or they can come to you.
The sensor package includes LIDAR and Hyperspectral imaging along with the standard thermal/visual/multispectral and it can be spec-ed out depending on your needs. PrecisionHawk also touts the Lancaster’s ‘brain’ – a basic artificial intelligence that detects weather conditions to create its own optimal flight path in real time and assess data from the sensors as it is collected, eliminating the need for a second flight.
Crop Mapper:
Based in Toulouse, France, Delair-Tech offers industry-specific packages that can be outfitted to either of their DT-18 or DT-26 UAVs. Included with the purchase of either drone is a five day training program.
The Crop Mapper package is best suited for projects that cover a large area. The package comes standard with Delair’s Solapp flight control software and Pix4D‘s Mapper imaging processing software.
AG550:
Longtime UAS distributor Aerial Technology International recently jumped into the world of agriculture and began selling custom multi-rotor drones that can be configured with all the standard cameras and sensors. While multi-rotor drones don’t have the same extensive battery life as a fixed-wing model, they are much more agile and can be flown very close to the ground (they also tend to be much cheaper).
Plus, ATI offers a free consultation with each inquiry they receive so you can be sure your drone is optimized for your needs.
Quad Indago:
Another multi-rotor solution on the market is Farm Intelligence2‘s Quad Indago. This collapsable drone sports Lockheed Martin Procerus Technologies’ Kestrel 3 autopilot and a powerful ground station laptop to support it. The system also comes standard with FI2’s Dual Band Sensor with near infrared and ultra-HD RGB capabilities.
The price tag on the Indago might be a little scary but it’s certainly one of the most advanced quadcopters money can buy.
AgEagle:
The nature of farm equipment is that it takes a serious beating over time. In anticipation of this issue, the AgEagle is outfitted with a composite shell of fiberglass and carbon fiber cloth in addition to a poly carbonate skid plate. It’s an aerial tank that can fly in winds up to 20 miles an hour.
The complete AgEagle package comes standard with the aircraft, launcher, camera, software and appropriate training.

Thanks for the great article and though there are a ton of drones out there I think you missed a key competitor in this field. QuestUAV from the UK offers a modular design of several products including the Q-200 Agri Pro, which out does eBee on almost every front. For those who might have missed this is definitely worth a look. Also for those interested in franchise opportunities in both the US and Canada Recon Aerial media is putting building out a franchise model to support up and coming service providers, stay tuned!
Here is our link for those who might be interested, drop us a line, love to hear from you!

Please explain how when you mosaic the thumbnail size images created by drones you don’t count the overlapping pixels and create false data when calculating NDVI’s.

I am with emergency fire service in Australia. I am looking for a drone for our region that has FLIR, so that we can fly over an area after we have put a fire out and look for any potential “hotspots” which may flare up at a later stage so that we can cool the area down.
Do you have anything that is capable of this?
If so, is it available as FPV?
What would the range be?
Do you offer a lease service for 3-4 months over the summer/high fire danger season?
Hi Oskar, where in Australia are you? What range do you need the craft to fly?
Oskar, I’m in Australia, I supply drones and may be able to help you out.

We wish to customize our drone for public safety purpose. It should fly at a minimum height of 100 meter (no upper limit) with sprayer which should be remotely operated and should carry at least 20 l of payload in the spraying can. We intend to spray lacrymators on rioteers and/or unruly mob. which type of UAV we should buy? plz suggest indian dealers or sources of buying such UAV if there is one.
Unless you are able to prove that you are law enforcement, you wouldn’t be able to get one.
we are Defence Research Laboratory, Tezpur, Assam, India(under Ministry of Defence, Government of India). We have developed a chilli based riot control agent which is already deployable as hand-grenades. We want to develop a contraption so that it may be deployed from Drones on rioting mob. We need a suitable drone for this purpose.
If you can prove it, we’d be fine with customizing a drone for your needs.

Hello everyone,
i am also looking for sensefly ebee drone but now i have to look for options. pls help me and tell me which company provide a reliable drone for survey & mapping and ship that drone to india or supply thru Indian distributor or reseller.
Thanks,
Sachin Modi
Hi Sachin
I am the re seller for event 38.
My UAV has a longer flight time than the ebee and costs around 4 times less. The repairs are also costing less.
The company who processes my data is based on Karnataka india and can act as my representative there, so I can ship to india, or come to.india to help you set up and learn to fly if you want to buy. I am based in england but I am coming to Asia in October/November so something may be possible. My website is http://www.cropmapping.com please e mail me if you have any further questions. From Jan
Autonomous Aeronautics has some good options too!
Why was the pteryx uav not mentioned here?
There is a company that caught my eye, they are doing precision spraying together with NDVI aerial mapping, it’s http://sprayingdrone.com
Roboflight is now AgPixel.
Greetings,
I work for a radio station that is farm rich, located in NW Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa. I would like to find a company(s) that would come out and demonstrate the UAV’s to our listeners.
Please contact me if you would be interested in demonstrating for us.
Very eager to get this going.
Hello! We are a company based in Portland Oregon. However, we are willing to ship out a demo unit provided you return it.
Thanks and best regards,
Tapabrata
Please also provide the viewing network size. Thanks
Hello,
I a writer for a drone publication and I’m working on an ag drone article reviewing some of the available options. I’m wondering if you might like to submit your demo unit for review? Please email Ben. If nothing else if like to chat with you about the work you’re doing.
Thank you,
Ben@ Rogue AerialProductions
Hello Ben!
I’d be happy to chat about the work I’m doing, however, we’d have to talk further about a demo unit. Shipping these are quite expensive and the units themselves are not cheap either. That being said, I’m sure we could work something out.
Thank,
Tapabrata

That’s amazing how drones now days can help out farmers with mapping out the land of their farm and other things. It seems like farmers are going hi tech when it comes to farming and I’m pretty sure that it would help them out. Are there any drones online that would be the best drones for agriculture? http://www.precisionhawk.com
I have been using an AgDrone from Honeycomb for a year and it has delivered excellent results. Most of my flights have been either 200 acres of 640 acres. Also when I have questions their support people know what they are talking about and are very helpful.

Hello!
Our agriculture UAV products are currently in two distinct categories, with different uses.
Fixed-Wing UAVs are for large scale applications and require a small amount of human interaction (launching and providing a landing space). Our multirotor UAVs are capable of functioning completely autonomously once set up with our wireless charging kit and automatic media kit. These are best for monitoring specialty crops and/or specific areas.
Our fixed wing StratoScout series has three models:
The StratoScout which is gas-powered and can fly up to one hour on a single tank is priced at $5000.
The StratoScout Electric which is electric powered and can fly up to one hour on a single charge (although we do offer extra batteries to extend flight time) sells for $8750.
The StratoScout Endurance can fly up to four hours and sells for $10,000.
The StratoScout Hercules offers the greatest flight time on the market and can fly up to eight hours and sells for $40,000.
These are all GPS equipped and can fly autonomously with waypoints.
We also offer IR, NDVI, visual, multrispectral and LIDAR sensors that are available through us. If you want to add a custom sensor, we can do that for you too.
We offer accessories such as an instant media kit, and emergency parachute and others.
All StratoScout UAVs come with GIS and 3D mapping software.
Thanks,
Tapabrata
Hi! What company do you work for? Do you have a link? We are doing work in precision Ag and are looking into different type of drones, we have some but are looking to get into more of a multi spectral camera.

Hey Rodney,
Some of the ways you can use drone technology in staple crops is to assess NDVI levels to monitor the health of your crops, check for harvest readiness, pests and even to apply pesticides! There are many more applications, if you want to know them all just contact me. I also noticed that you have 1000 acres of farmland. This means you will likely need a long flight time drone, my company offers a series agriculture drones that can fly as long as 8 hours. We look forward to delivering you the best solution we can. Please contact if interested.
Thanks,
Tapabrata
Dear Rodney
I sell the event 38 fixed wing drone with a 2 hour flight time. It is aroind 5000 usd the optional ndvi camera is 600 USD
If you want to get in to crop mapping I could come to Kenya for a week and train you on the system for 1700 USD

The speedometers instantly help to reveal what savings can be
made and the rating chart ranges from A to
G. According to Dingo, he and another officer responded to a call about hunters trespassing on private property.
When they realize that your business is protected by a closed
circuit television camera they may choose to go somewhere else.
This is one perfect way if you are the type of homeowner whose work involves being away from
your home for long hours of the day. The Bush administration used the fear of terrorism,
as Mussolini did, to get the population to accept infringement on their
rights. This camera also helped us in getting a deserving person locked up.
Thank you for sharing the best agricultural drones on the market today. It’s true that drones are becoming increasingly popular on America’s farms. It is important to identify your goal before buying because drones require a significant investment of both time and money. This has been helpful to see some of the companies who have emerged as key players in the space and provide comprehensive aerial agricultural solutions. Thanks!
Thanks for your support!
I think your are right.It is import to make the drone easy to use.we have sale the agriculture spraying drone for over 5years.It is really help the farmer if they want to spraying the chemical for the rice ,wheat,corn.No product is perfect meet all requirement.
I have been asked several times as a regular user of the Sensefly eBee if it is reliable and a good buy. We have been using it now for over a year. Well, if you are a wealthy adrenalin junkie, this might be a good choice. It is very sensitive to winds (once you reach 6 m/s, the pictures degrade, mis-shots, and especially inaccurate hard landings with a lot of glue for repairs) and requires very good wide open flat and soft surface. It is impossible to land manually (unstable design) and very stressful/risky semi-manually. Automatic? Well read again the post… 😉 5-6m accuracy is a large lateral distance to predict the point of…impact. Better cut all trees in the area, remove every stone and every protuberance and make sure there is no water in the region. Nets? Try again, you might snap the probe on the top (static and pitot plus LED). If anything breaks related to the flight controller (including the probe)… goodbye your eBee for several weeks and high price tag (don’t try the guarantee, LOL). It is very highly priced for what it is, especially considering the customer service that will do whatever to make sure you will not return it or will pay again a good amount for its repair. On the software side, no complaints, both for the e-motion and Postflight Terra. But if you operate in a hilly or windy place, it is not a good investment and you are better using Pixhawk with a cheaper frame. With Pixhawk (and mission planner) you have also auto-takeoff (almost) and auto-landing. If you want, you can fit a DGPS (high accuracy, which is especially great for landings). You can also put vertical sensors (laser, acoustic etc.) to help for your landings. You can fly manually (depending on your design), land manually if needed, abort landings etc. etc. You can fit a better camera or sensors, …have a more peaceful life and better savings.
I’ve been on eBee coming to 2 years and I TOTALLY agree with your comments.
First of all, this is a bloody high priced equipment. Apart from the software emotion which I have very high regards on, this drone is totally not worth it’s price. The maintenance is too costly. just to get you in the picture, it costs USD250 for a baterry, that’s the standard 3s 1800 mah baterry which I believe once can get it at USD20 at Hobbyking.
I get frustrated with the never ending camera malfunction error message when the camera is actually doing fine. We actually bought 4 units of eBee spare camera and trust me, it’s not cheap even though it’s just a modified Canon Powershot Ixus.
So I definitely do not recommend this product, very very poor customer service, almost everything about it is too expensive. Once the eBee reaches 70 flights, we had nightmares after nightmares with the parts from motor to radio, you name it. Having said all these, I give emotion and Pix4D Postflight Terra a super big applause. The Switz had gone so far to make the navigation software so dummy proof that anyone with zero RC background would know how to operate it.
We are on APM 2.6 with Mission Planner too now, on Event 38’s E384 skywalker 1900mm body with a so much better 20 mpx Samsung NX1100 camera. Longer endurance close to 90minutes, Sensefly eBee is barely 30minutes.
hola
Mi nombre es Paul y vivo en Uruguay.
Tengo un EBEE y tamnbien tengo los mismos problemas que ustedes.
Es muy fragil!!! y todos los repuestos son demasiado caros.
Quiero saber como es su experiencia con el EVENT 38. Me puede usted dar algunos datos sobre este UAV? y tambien su experiencia personal?
Gracias
Paul

Hi Paul
do you interested in the agriculture spraying drone ?
Try Ageagle. They have real time processing, you wont regret it!

Hello
I’m considering different options to buy a fixed wing drone; people talk a lot about Ebee but I saw Lehmann Aviation LA300 who seem very good for the sames capabilities and a much lower price ; is someone knows about Lehmann Aviation aircrafts? what do you think?
Thanks for yours answers
Hi Paul,
I work for Geo-4D UAV; we are the UK & Ireland resellers of Lehmann Aviation’s drones.
If you have any questions about the products please feel free to contact me – james.fleming@geo-4duav.com
Best Regards
I sell the Event38 drone for £3700
My website is http://www.cropmapping.com
I provide training on the system
With more than 50 flights under my belt with the AgEagle, it is certainly the most robust, simplest and economical of any ag UAV we’ve seen. Just does the job with no fuss.
Have you trained on and used all of these platforms extensively? If so you’d know that the PrecisionHawk is about as airworthy as a flaming pile of diapers.
AgEagle is the Best!!!!
The Ag Eagle dealers and product development manager (http://agtechtalk.com/2014/04/06/agtechtalk-flies-ag-eagles-in-kansas-colbyuas/) sure like taking their shots at Drone Life for not being included on the 6 best ag drones list.
Drone Life, guess you won’t make that mistake again!!
Closed circuit to Ag Eagle supporters. . . your product isn’t as good as you think it is. It could be as simple as this, the original title was “The 6 best ag drones” Maybe you just didn’t make the cut. Apparently you made the cut on the revision and can be considered the 7th best ag drone. I feel bad for drone life having to put up with such over the top whining. Doesn’t seem very classy or professional in my opinion.
Curt,
You may have missed my post commending the folks at dronelife. Also, please note that when I posted my two comments, I used my complete name (not just an anonymous first name) and that I was obviously affiliated with AgEagle.
The companies listed are all good firms and while we may be competitors, all are working to move the industry ahead while battling against a cumbersome regulatory environment and public misconception. During all this, there will be winners and losers, much in the same way as during the early auto manufacturing industry. Personally, I admire the players, both well funded and those who are bootstrapping their efforts, as we try our very best to bring this budding industry to a higher level each day.
Thank you everyone for providing a more complete list. I am surprised to not see RoboFlight. I worked in the FAA AFS-80 (UAS Integration Office) office for the last 2 1/2 years writing policy and have keen insight into the way forward. It is interesting to see how many companies are trying to get into this market and we can already see companies teaming together. As I continue to sit on unmanned aircraft committees, I am most surprised that NONE of these companies are attending the various committees developing standards. Hopefully we will see more of these companies getting involved to drive industry standards.
Christina,
Thank you for your service in the FAA office, but I would like to defend, if I may, as to why many of the companies building and marketing UAVs are not involved with standards committees.
I can’t speak for others here, but our company simply doesn’t have the financial resources, time or available personnel to attend the numerous meetings of the various government agencies and officials involved. Yes, we have written letters, sent emails and made phone calls, but that’s about all we can offer. We’re in the shop building, testing, marketing and selling. We’re forming coalitions with vendors and suppliers. In other words, we’re “doing” and not “discussing”. It would be great if we could just take time off from the shop and spend several days traveling to conferences, meetings, symposiums and reviewing the issues, but that doesn’t pay the bills or salaries, so we ask our federal and state representatives to keep watch for us. For a politician, anything that involves the world of “drones” is a hot potato!
A couple of years ago, our company CEO offered to be a part of the discussion and was invited provide his input, but whenever he asked how the rules were developing, he was told that the proposed rules could not be discussed because they hadn’t been written. It quickly became obvious that the communication was only one way. Not once have we received a call or email from the FAA directly asking us what we see as important and needed in regards to UAS operations for small systems. Sure, there are webiste forms, but I’m talking one-on-one. My hunch is that none of the others in this drone list have ever received a call from an official either.
Some fear that the UAV commercial application rules for lightweight vehicles (like the AgEagle) will be akin to the Obamacare program; We won’t know what’s in it until it’s passed. At times it feels like the invitation for involvement is only window dressing and other more powerful manufacturers will have the rules written to benefit them. I could be wrong, but only time will tell.
I do want to emphasize that there are those in civil service that work diligently to help and I can only cheer them on and firmly believe they will be successful.
Thank you.
How about AutoCopter? been around a while? flies for 2 hours with a tetracam?
I was contacted this morning by the folks at dronelife.com and they were very supportive about posting information about AgEagle. While some on line publications would have simply ignored the comments, or deleted them altogether, the staff at dronelife.com responded, and for that, they are to be commended.
I am not sure where you got your facts or how you came up with this list, but you obviously have not done any research into the agricultural use of drones. I have been researching and using drones in agriculture for over two years and have never heard of a few of these on your list. The top drone in use in agriculture today is probably the AgEagle, yet it is not even on your list, nor is it even listed in your “buy a drone” product page. There is enough misinformation on the web today about drones, please don’t throw out more propaganda about who makes the best drone; show some data, numbers, or something to back up your claims.
Our company provides precision agriculture consulting, particularly in the area of UAS. I am really surprised to see mention of AgBee, ATI and Honeycomb when we have yet to see their products in the fields. We chose AgEagle as a product farmers can actually use themselves, rather than something cobbled together by techies and hobbiests. Follow us at @aculorservices.
Hi
Why don’t you mention AgEagle? According to the research I’ve done they have sold more UAVS than your six combined.
I find it rather odd that your article failed to mention AgEagle in Neodesha, KS. Not only has AgEagle been involved in the early development of platforms specifically for agriculture, the AgEagle has been featured in numerous stories on a wide variety of media platforms, most recently the Wall Street Journal, AgTechTalk, Farm Journal Media, John Deere’s The Furrow and more.
While many other UAV companies have burst on the scene, created a marketing flurry and quickly disappeared in a cloud of smoke and mirrors, AgEagle continues to grow with sales across the US, Canada, Australia and soon in the UK and Europe.
Finally, the price for the complete system, ready to fly and process the images, is only $13,500 and that INCLUDES the training program.
This list seems kind of bogus, if any research had been put into it you would have seen that the best drone buy is the AgEagle at AgEagle.com.
Where precision ag is concerned, here’s a much more comprehensive (and relevant) list of the movers and shakers in drone technology – http://bit.ly/1vvDRI3
