Efficient aerial seeding directly into standing crops — no soil compaction, no equipment damage, no waiting for harvest.
Get your cover crops established weeks earlier by seeding directly into standing corn, soybeans, or other cash crops using our agricultural drones. Nelson Drone Solutions serves farmers across all of Nebraska with efficient aerial cover crop seeding that eliminates the need for ground equipment, reduces soil compaction, and gives your cover crops a critical head start before harvest.
We load your chosen cover crop seed into our Talos T60x spreader system and program precise GPS flight paths over your fields. The drone flies at the optimal altitude for even seed distribution, broadcasting seed uniformly across standing crops. Because we seed before harvest, your cover crops get extra growing days — often 2-4 weeks earlier than post-harvest drilling — leading to better establishment and more biomass going into winter.
The fall cover crop planting window is tight. Ground equipment requires waiting until after harvest and dry conditions. Manned aircraft are expensive and require scheduling weeks in advance. Drones let you seed on your schedule — even on short notice when a weather window opens — directly into standing crops at a price point that makes cover cropping economically practical for more acres.
