2026 Agri Spray Drones Dealer Conference

In 2019, our founder, Taylor Moreland, saw the potential for drones to revolutionize aerial application, but he also noticed a significant gap in the market: none of the US spray drone suppliers had a real understanding of agriculture.

A natural-born entrepreneur and avid tinkerer (see how these attributes contributed to designing and developing mobility devices for kids who have difficulty moving their legs), Taylor grew up on a Missouri dairy farm and spent his early career working alongside farmers as a Pioneer Seed Dealer. When agricultural spray drones hit the US market, Taylor saw a gap: this new technology needed real farming experience to guide and enable end users and operators. Drawing on his deep agricultural background, he started Agri Spray Drones to bring genuine, hands-on farm knowledge to spray drone operators—a commitment central to empowering rural America.
