More About Drone Spraying in South Dakota

South Dakota farmers manage massive fields of corn, soybeans, wheat, and sunflowers—often across challenging terrain and tight weather windows. Drone spraying offers the speed and precision needed to treat fields efficiently, reduce soil compaction, and spot-spray problem areas. It’s the perfect match for large-scale, high-efficiency farming operations.

South Dakota’s Agricultural Heritage

South Dakota is a top producer of corn, cattle, and soybeans, with agriculture at the core of its economy and identity. The South Dakota Department of Agriculture and SDSU Extension help producers adopt the latest in technology, including drone spraying, to stay productive and profitable across changing seasons and markets.
