Why Drones

A drone puts product where it needs to go without a tire or an underframe touching the crop. No wheel tracks, no plants brushed past by a boom — across a big block, that's bushels you keep.

Acres are acres. We stage batteries and product at the field edge, so field size doesn't slow us down. Large blocks are the most efficient work we do and they're priced that way — the more acres you put together, the better the per-acre number. It also flies ground too wet to drive, works tight windows, and covers point rows, waterways and ground behind timber on the same pass at the same rate.

Independent trial data backs it up — but only when there's disease pressure worth spraying for. That part matters more than the aircraft.

We Sell What We Fly

Premium Ag Services is an authorized EAVision dealer. We sell the same aircraft we run commercially, in real fields, during real application seasons — so when you ask whether a drone pencils out for your operation, the answer comes from flying one for a living.

Both include three batteries and a charger, and a 12-month limited warranty. We ship nationwide, with free delivery and in-person setup within 100 miles of Newark.

Who's Flying It

I'm Erik. I've spent more than a decade in aerial application, starting in manned aircraft long before I ever flew a spray drone.

I've flown crops from helicopters, spent time flying medical helicopters, and eventually built Premium Ag Services around the same work I've done most of my career: putting an aircraft to work and getting the job done right.

I didn't get into aerial application because of drones. I got into drones because, after years of aerial application, they became the better tool for a lot of the work I was already doing.

Today I fly the same EAVision aircraft we sell. If I'm recommending one for your operation, it's because I've used it on mine.
