More About Drone Spraying in South Carolina

South Carolina’s agriculture includes everything from cotton and soybeans to peaches, peanuts, and produce. With heat, humidity, and pest pressure, drone spraying offers fast, targeted application that reduces drift, limits field damage, and improves timing. From row crops to specialty fields, UAVs are helping South Carolina farmers boost efficiency and yields.

South Carolina’s Agricultural Heritage

Agriculture has long been a vital part of South Carolina’s economy and culture. The state is a leading producer of peaches, leafy greens, and cotton, with a growing focus on innovation and sustainability. Clemson Cooperative Extension and the South Carolina Department of Agriculture support farmers with resources to modernize operations—including training and support for drone spraying adoption.
