Drone Spraying Service Area & Pricing

Premium Ag Services flies precision drone application out of Newark, Illinois — fungicide, herbicide, foliar feeding and cover crop seeding, from $13 per acre. Veteran-owned, FAA Part 137 certified, and two miles from where I grew up farming this ground.

We work six counties. Each has its own page, because the ground and the reasons a drone earns its keep are genuinely different in each one.

Pick your county

Kendall County →
Home base. Newark, Yorkville, Oswego, Plano, Sandwich, Lisbon, Millbrook, Millington. Often same-week during fungicide season because we are already here.

LaSalle County →
The biggest farm county we work — 574,703 acres of cropland, and more woodland edge than anywhere else in the area. Ottawa, Marseilles, Seneca, Sheridan, Serena, Leland, Earlville, Streator, Mendota.

DeKalb County →
The biggest average farm in the area at 438 acres, and the lowest cover crop adoption. Somonauk, Hinckley, Sandwich, Waterman, Shabbona, Sycamore, DeKalb.

Grundy County →
As close to pure row crop as Illinois gets — 99 percent of sales are crops. Morris, Minooka, Mazon, Gardner, Verona, Coal City, and the river bottoms along the Illinois.

Kane County →
Smaller fields, more edges, more neighbors — the ground drones handle best. Big Rock, Sugar Grove, Kaneville, Elburn, Maple Park, Hampshire.

Will County →
The highest no-till rate in the area, and farmland that is actually growing. Wilmington, Manhattan, Peotone, Beecher, Monee, Channahon.

We travel up to 100 miles from Newark, and farther when the job makes sense.

Why a drone instead of a plane or ground rig?

No crop knocked down by wheel tracks. No drift-prone high-speed passes over buffer-sensitive ground. Fungicide coverage on tasseled corn without waiting in an aerial applicator's queue. And you get an as-applied map of every acre.

Nobody is in the aircraft, either. That matters more than the industry likes to admit →

What it costs

Most applications run $13–15 per acre depending on product, rate and field layout, with volume pricing on larger blocks and whole-farm work. Call or text 630-465-4539 with your field locations and I'll give you a straight number the same day.
