In Idaho, aerial applications for agricultural spraying guarantee crop quality and success and is a cost-effective alternative to ground treatments. By enabling farmers to reach remote and rugged terrains consistently for complete coverage with limited environmental impact, aerial applications provide next generation solutions to your current agricultural needs.
Helicopters can be transported by truck directly to the spray sites and chemicals for aerial application treatments can be mixed and loaded directly on the nurse/platform trucks. Aerial applications in Idaho often use smaller aircraft with large load capacity like the Robinson R44 and BELL 47, which come equipped with DGPS to ensure precision, to cover large areas and save on fuel costs.

Agriculture is an indispensable part of Idaho’s economy. 20% of the states annual revenues are generated by agriculture and food processing. Agricultural products in the states are valued at nearly $8 billion. Most known for its potatoes, Idaho is the number one producer in the US, contributing to 32% of the nation's production. With nearly 25,000 farms and ranches spread over 11.8 million acres, the state produces more than 185 agricultural products, ranking in the the top ten in the US in 30 of the products it cultivates. Aerial application in Idaho is invaluable as spraying allows farms to efficiently and productively treat and protect large areas quickly and accurately.
