WE FLY IT FOR YOU
Not ready to own a drone — or just need acres covered this week? RADS flies spraying, spreading, seeding, and mapping as a service, under our own FAA Part 137 certificated operation. Your fields, our aircraft, our licensed operators, your records.

APPLICATION SERVICES
SPRAYING
Fungicide, herbicide, insecticide, and foliar applications — flown as spot treatment or broadcast coverage. Every job runs on a hand-built field map, a calibrated aircraft, and a consistent swath held at 10-foot elevations; our droplet coverage proves itself in calibration tests, not brochures.
WHERE AERIAL APPLICATION EARNS ITS KEEP
- Wet fields — treat ground a rig can’t enter without ruts or a tow strap
- No compaction, no trampling — nothing touches the soil or the standing crop
- Obstacles & odd ground — tree lines, pivots, slopes, corners, and blocks that ground equipment fights
- Timing windows — fly when the crop needs it, not when the schedule opens
- Spot treatment — hit the patch, not the whole field

GRANULAR SERVICES
SPREADING & SEEDING
The same aircraft that sprays also spreads. With the granular payload we fly dry fertilizer topdress, cover-crop seeding, and biological pest-control payloads — placed evenly, on your timing, with zero wheel tracks.
WHAT WE SPREAD
- Dry fertilizer topdress — in-season applications without waiting on field conditions
- Cover-crop seeding — including into standing crop ahead of harvest, so the cover is up when the combine leaves
- Biological pest control — beneficial payloads delivered where they work
- Reseed & pasture work — rangeland and hard-to-reach ground
IMAGING SERVICES
MAPPING & PHOTOGRAPHY
Good application starts with a good map — so we build ours by hand to guarantee accuracy: boundaries, obstacles, and buffers marked the way the field actually lies. The same aircraft and eyes also fly imaging as a standalone service.
WHAT WE CAPTURE
- Multispectral crop-health imaging — see stress before the windshield does
- Fallow spot-spray mapping — locate the weeds, then treat only where they are
- Precision field maps — hand-made boundaries and obstacle maps ready for application work
- Aerial photography — your property, projects, and operation from the air

RADS × YOU
WHY RADS
CERTIFICATED. LOCAL. ACCOUNTABLE.
Fully Certificated
FAA Part 137, Section 44807 exemption, Part 107 pilots — the licenses that make aerial application legal are ours, in-house.
Operator-Owned
The equipment gets judged by a working farmer's standard. If we wouldn't run it on our own acres, it doesn't fly on yours.
Records Done Right
Every job closes with application records for your files — clean documentation you can hand a consultant, a landlord, or a program office.
