Apple Orchard Drone Spraying in Minnesota

Tall trees, tight blocks and wet spring ground treated from the air — no ruts, nothing driven through your rows.

// Overview

Orchard blocks are tall, tight and often wet when the spray window opens. Northland Ag & Aerial covers them from above, so you don’t wait for the ground to dry out or run a heavy sprayer through every row.

// Pricing
From $18/acre

Billed per treated acre of orchard block. Final pricing depends on acreage, product, tree size, and access.
