More About Drone Spraying in Illinois

As one of the nation’s top producers of corn and soybeans, Illinois agriculture runs on precision, scale, and efficiency. Drone spraying helps Illinois farmers save time, reduce input waste, and protect yields with targeted application across large acreages. From flat plains to patchwork fields, drones are enhancing the way Illinois grows.

Illinois’s Agricultural Heritage

Illinois has been a cornerstone of American agriculture for over a century, thanks to its fertile prairie soil and central location. With nearly 75% of the state’s land used for farming, it ranks consistently at the top in grain output. Institutions like the Illinois Department of Agriculture and University of Illinois Extension help producers integrate technology and improve outcomes statewide.
