What we're about
Help Lead and Educate the New Generation of Drone Pilots
Through nuWay Ag and Drone Deer Recovery, our mission is to HELP, LEAD, and EDUCATE the new generation of drone pilots while fostering innovation in the industry. At Drone Deer Recovery, we started a nationwide movement, leveraging thermal drones for game recovery. Moreover, as a DJI Dealer, we have equipped and trained hundreds of aspiring entrepreneurs with the necessary equipment to start their own recovery businesses.
Under nuWay Ag, our journey began with spraying thousands of acres. Through our experience, we designed the most efficient drone trailer on the market. Now, our focus has shifted to empowering others to start and operate their own successful spray drone businesses. As a content creator, we produce popular videos that bring attention and education to this huge emerging market.

There's never been a better time to start a drone business, and we're excited to see others benefit from this life-changing opportunity.
Our Start
Invested in Ag Drones
We bought a XAG P100, and after a few months of use (that felt like a banging our head against a wall) we bought a DJI Agras T40 and quickly fell in love with how easy it was to use, especially when compared with drones we had been testing.
It was what XAG was missing - the a combination of strong hadware with really slick software.
Our First Ag Season
11,000 acres
In our first season, our team sprayed 11,000 acres in just 24 days.
We bought what we thought was a top-of-the-line trailer setup and wanted to like it, but very quickly it become a very frustrating experience.
It felt like it had been designed by a trailer manufacturer, not a custom applicator with real-world experience.
When
Design Starts
Immediately after finishing up the season, we started brainstorming what the ideal spray trailer would actually look and function like.
We spent tens of thousands of dollars working alongside custom weld shops to design the spray trailer that would want to use.
The 2024 Season
Production Begins
In January 2024 we partner with a established trailer manufacturer that has produced hundreds of thousands of trailers over the last decade.
After working through final details, in March of 2024 production of one trailer a week begins.
With the help of our manufacturing partner, we can quickly scale up to meet demand. We're excited for the future.
