AG1 Growers Taps Sprig Aerospace for Advanced UAS Aerial Application Operations

EntSun News/11087004
PADUCAH, Ky. - EntSun -- AG1 Growers, a leader in regenerative agriculture, today announced it has selected Sprig Aerospace as its primary provider for drone aerial application services. This strategic partnership aims to enhance crop yields and operational efficiency by utilizing Sprig's advanced heavy-lift Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for the precise delivery of nutrients and crop protection products.

As agricultural demands evolve, the need for precision and accessibility has never been greater. Traditional ground rigs often struggle with wet terrain or dense canopies, while manned aircraft can be cost-prohibitive for smaller or irregular plots. The collaboration between AG1 Growers and Sprig Aerospace solves these challenges by deploying autonomous spray technology that can reach any acre, any time.

"Our mission has always been to provide our growers with the best tools to succeed," said Mark Dodd owner and founder at AG1 Growers. "By partnering with Sprig Aerospace, we are moving beyond traditional methods. Their heavy-lift drones allow us to apply products with surgical precision, reducing waste and ensuring our growers get the maximum ROI from every application."

Their flagship platforms are capable of treating up to 120 acres per hour, offering a combination of speed and payload capacity that rivals traditional methods while maintaining a significantly smaller environmental footprint.

"We are thrilled to work alongside AG1 Growers," said Alex Scott, CEO and co-founder of Sprig Aerospace. "Our technology is designed for the rugged realities of the field. By integrating our heavy-lift capabilities with AG1's deep agronomic expertise, we're not just spraying fields—we're optimizing the entire lifecycle of the crop."

Key benefits of the partnership include:
  • Precision Application: Targeted spraying reduces chemical drift and ensures nutrients are delivered exactly where needed.
  • Increased Availability: Ability to treat fields when traditional manned ground vehicles and aircraft cannot.
  • Data-Driven Insights: Application of Sprig's technology suite to AG1's already robust crop consulting services to its customers.
