Why Attend
The Next Phase of the Industry
The next phase of this industry will require more than knowing the technology.
The early adopters have proven agricultural drones work. The opportunity now is helping farmers, ag retailers, and prospective drone operators confidently understand, evaluate, and adopt the technology.
That will require dealers who know their customers, communicate well, show up consistently, lead strong businesses, and help people confidently navigate change.
Dealer Conference is an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day and work on those skills together, while preparing for what’s next from Agri Spray Drones.
Through industry insights, practical business education, dealer collaboration, product updates, and conversations with the ASD team, we'll focus on four areas:
-
Know Your Customer
Have better conversations, ask better questions, and understand what's really driving a customer's decision.
-
Grow Your Business
Learn what's working in ag marketing and how to build visibility, nurture opportunities, and invest your resources more intentionally.
-
Tell Your Story
Understand what farmers actually respond to and use authentic communication to strengthen your reputation in your market.
-
Lead Your Business
Navigate the demands of business ownership while building a dealership that's prepared for what's ahead.
Make the most of your time

Taylor Moreland
CEO at Agri Spray Drones
Leading the Next Era of Spray Drone Application
Session focus: Where the industry is headed, why local dealers matter more than ever, and how Agri Spray Drones is investing in your success.
Read bio
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.
