Fertilize or seed a field from the air.
The drone sets down only where we load it, never out across your field, so no loaded ground sprayer is driven over soft ground. Every job gets a written record: what we applied, where, when, how much, and the wind and weather.
Opening for commercial work in the first quarter of 2027.
Organic fertilizer and seed
That's what we recommend. They're safer around livestock, water and the land next door, and they suit organic and low-input farms. We don't apply pesticides or herbicides. My family's farm, Three Waters Farm (opens in a new tab) in Ghent, is certified organic. I know what it takes to keep that, and I won't be the reason someone else loses it.
The same drone does solar panel cleaning, with deionized water. It can also do foliar feeding, which puts liquid fertilizer onto a growing crop's leaves, or wet down a dusty road or arena, though neither is a regular service. Need one of those, or something else applied? Ask, and we'll tell you whether we're the right operator for it.
Sprayed from a tank or spread from a hopper
Liquid spray
Liquid fertilizer onto the ground, from a 100-liter tank (about 26 gallons).
Granular spreading
Seed or dry fertilizer, from a 150-liter hopper (about 40 gallons). That includes overseeding a worn pasture, putting in a cover crop, and reseeding after fire or erosion.
What an application gets you, and what we need from you
What you get
| The record | What was applied, which field, the date and time, how much per acre, the area covered, and the wind and weather |
| How it reaches you | An email tells you when the record is ready. It is kept with the field's previous applications. |
| Positioning | RTK GPS to within a few centimeters, so each pass lines up with the last |
| How it flies | We launch it at your field, and it flies a set plan on its own or by hand |
| Scheduling | We check wind speed, wind direction and the weather before every job, and pick the day around them |
What we need from you
Your field boundaries, your crops and roughly how many acres. Have a prescription map showing how much goes where? Email it to support@herdsmen.ai, or send it when we reply.
On the day, you provide the water for a spray job and a flat, clear spot to land and load.
