Helping the Next Generation Get Off the Ground
Getting into agricultural drones takes more than buying an aircraft. Licensing, insurance, equipment, application practices, pricing, staffing, and relationships all play a role in building an operation that lasts.
Premier has been through that process firsthand. The Startup Network brings together practical guidance and industry experience to help new and growing operators make better decisions from the start.
The right aircraft depends on what you plan to apply, where you'll operate, and how much work you expect to handle. Beyond the drone itself, a productive operation also requires the right batteries, charging equipment, generators, mixing systems, pumps, and support equipment.
With so many options available and specs to calculate, having trusted information is extremely valuable before making a big purchase.
Premier can help you with:
Commercial agricultural drone operations involve more than a standard remote pilot certificate. Understanding the licensing and regulatory requirements before you begin can save time, expense, and frustration later.
We can share practical info for navigating the process:
Commercial drone work introduces risks that aren't always covered by traditional business or equipment policies. Operators need to understand how aircraft, liability, agricultural applications, employees, and business operations fit together.
From asking insurance providers the right questions to covering your bases as an entrepreneur and employer, knowledge is everything.
Premier will help you find resources to establish your business:
Owning a capable drone is only the beginning. Successful application work requires planning each job around acreage, product rates, field conditions, equipment capacity, and an efficient ground operation.
There's a bit of a learning curve between buying equipment and putting it to productive use.
We can share tried-and-true methods from our experience in the field:
Knowing how to fly is different from knowing how to make the operation profitable. New operators have to determine what their work is worth, understand their costs, find the right customers, and build relationships that lead to repeat business.
Premier can provide real perspective and connections:
Growth isn't always about adding another drone. Sometimes it's improving efficiency, tightening your pricing, training another operator, upgrading support equipment, or recognizing where the business needs work.
Taking an honest look at your operation helps you make better decisions about where to invest next.
