Save · The Math

Save 70–90% on chemical. Own it forever.

Weeds typically cover less than 20% of a fallow field — so you only spray the fraction that matters. No subscription fees, no hardware to install, and you know your chemical cost before you spray.

Spot spraying isn’t the right answer for every field. When weed pressure is high, a blanket application may make more sense. The advantage of drone mapping is that you know before you start spraying — so you spend on the fields where it pays, and don’t on the fields where it doesn’t.

The conservative case

You don’t need to be a massive corporate farm to make the math work. Take a modest scenario: 2,500 acres of fallow, 2 spot-spray passes a year (5,000 total covered acres), at a $20.00/acre tank mix.

The old way (broadcast): 5,000 acres × $20.00 = $100,000 per year. The Agcopter way (spot): weeds cover under 20% of a fallow field, so you spray only the 20% that matters = $20,000 per year.

The bottom line: $80,000 in annual savings. The $89,000 system is nearly 100% paid for in Year 1 — and every year after, that $80,000 stays in your pocket as pure profit. You never pay a subscription fee to keep saving.

Beyond the chemical

Lower volume, better chemistry, less resistance

Blanket spraying wastes 80% or more of your chemical on bare dirt — expensive, and it builds residue in your soil. Spot spraying applies herbicide only to the weed.

Because your total volume drops so far, you can afford higher-quality, more potent tank mixes to guarantee a complete kill on resistant weeds — without breaking the bank.

A Real Field

679 acres. Only 7.8% had weeds.

Agcopter mapped every weed on this fallow field. The pink is where they actually were — and where the sprayer actually needs to go. Everything green stays dry.
