How it works

From first enquiry to sprayed

Most growers have never had a drone operator on the property and don't know what they're agreeing to. Here's the whole thing, with nothing left vague.

The four steps Through the season Is it right for your job?
The process

Four steps, no surprises

Tell us the job

Crop, hectares, chemical, location and a rough window. Two minutes through the enquiry form, or an email if you'd rather.

Quote & schedule

A fixed written quote and a date. We check airspace, obstacles and neighbouring sensitive areas before we commit to anything.

We fly it

We map the block, load your chemical to label rate, fly the mission and monitor wind and drift the whole way through.

Proof of application

A job record: area covered, rate applied, product, batch, weather at the time and the flight map. Ready for audit.

Through the year

When growers use us

Drone work isn't one season. Worth a look at where your own program has gaps.

Mar – May

Autumn / pre-plant

  • Knockdown on wet fallow
  • Pasture over-sowing
  • Slug and mouse bait
  • Cover crop seeding
Jun – Aug

Winter crop

  • Post-emergent herbicide
  • Fungicide on wet paddocks
  • Urea onto standing crop
  • Blackberry and woody weeds
Sep – Nov

Spring / finishing

  • Late fungicide and insecticide
  • Orchard and vine programs
  • Desiccation and harvest aid
  • Pasture weed control
Dec – Feb

Summer

  • Summer fallow weeds
  • Cotton, cane and sorghum
  • Late-stage tall crop work
  • Regrowth and creek lines
Straight answer

When a drone is the right tool — and when it isn't

Plenty of operators will quote anything put in front of them. We'd rather tell you now and keep you as a client for the jobs we're genuinely better at.

✓ Get in touch for this

  • Ground's too wet to travel and the window is closing
  • Steep, timbered or gullied country
  • Crop is past the height your rig can clear
  • Block is under about 200 ha, or an awkward shape
  • Scattered weed patches rather than whole-paddock coverage
  • Orchard, vine or tree crop — especially on a slope
  • Powerlines, dams and headlands the rig can't work around
  • You need it done inside 48 hours and your contractor is booked out

✗ We'll tell you to use the boom

  • Flat, dry, open broadacre over about 500 ha in one hit
  • Very high water rates the label won't let us go under
  • Products not registered for aerial application
  • Susceptible crops close downwind with no workable buffer
  • You already own a rig that can do the job this week
  • Sustained wind outside safe limits for the whole window
