Practical Drone Technology for British Columbia Agriculture
Every farm has different crops, acreage, terrain, and application needs. We provide agricultural drone solutions that can help BC growers spray, spread, monitor crops, and collect useful field data without relying on heavy equipment for every job.
Precision Crop Spraying
Agricultural spray drones can apply crop treatments from the air while reducing the need to drive equipment through wet or sensitive fields. Depending on the drone and setup, operators can adjust application rates, flight paths, and spray coverage for different field conditions.
Centrifugal Atomized Spraying
- Less ground traffic through wet fields
- Targeted application across difficult areas
- Useful for steep or sensitive terrain
- Faster response during short spray windows
Monitor Crop Conditions From Above
Aerial scouting gives growers a quick view of crop conditions across large or difficult-to-access areas. RGB and multispectral imaging can help identify differences in plant growth, stress, and field conditions that may need closer inspection.
Create Detailed Maps of Your Fields
Drone mapping can provide detailed aerial information for field planning, drainage work, irrigation projects, orchard layouts, and other farm decisions. RTK-enabled systems can provide highly accurate positioning when the required setup and correction service are available.
Use Field Data to Make Better Decisions
Combine aerial imagery, mapping, and field information to understand where crops need attention. Precision agriculture tools can help growers plan applications more carefully and avoid treating areas that do not require the same level of input.

Agricultural drones give farmers another way to reach crops, collect field information, and complete certain applications. They can be especially useful when wet ground, steep terrain, standing crops, or limited access make ground equipment difficult to use.
Cover More Ground When Conditions Are Tight
Drones can operate without driving a tractor through the crop, making them useful when fields are too wet for conventional equipment or when quick access is important during a short application window.
Apply Treatments Where They Are Needed
Modern agricultural drones provide programmable flight paths and controlled application systems. The right setup can help operators manage spray coverage and application rates across different field areas.
See Field Conditions From a Different View
Aerial imagery can help growers inspect large areas quickly and identify crop differences, drainage issues, or areas that need further attention before problems spread.
Technology Made for Real Farm Conditions
Controlled Spray Application
Agricultural spray systems allow operators to control flight paths and application settings for different field conditions. The DJI Agras T100 supports a 100 L spray tank and up to 40 L/min maximum flow rate with its optional four-nozzle configuration.
Smart Flight and Terrain Awareness
Modern agricultural drones use positioning and sensing systems to help maintain planned flight paths and respond to field conditions. The T100 includes RTK positioning and multiple sensing technologies designed for agricultural operations.
Spray, Spread, and More
Agricultural drone platforms can support different jobs by changing the appropriate payload or system. The DJI Agras T100 supports spraying, spreading, and lifting configurations, allowing one aircraft platform to be used for multiple agricultural applications.
Built for Productive Field Work
Large-capacity systems can reduce the number of refills and help operators keep working during important application windows. The T100 offers a 100 L spraying tank and a 150 L spreading tank, depending on the selected system.

Drone Solutions for Different BC Growing Regions
British Columbia has everything from orchards and vineyards to broad-acre field crops and specialty agriculture. The right drone setup depends on the crop, acreage, terrain, application, and operating conditions.
Orchards
Aerial spraying and scouting can be useful in orchards where slopes, tight rows, and wet ground can make conventional equipment difficult to operate.
Vineyards
Drone technology can provide another option for monitoring and treating vineyard areas, particularly where slopes or limited ground access create challenges for conventional equipment.
Field Crops
Agricultural drones can help with crop scouting and targeted applications across broad-acre operations, particularly when field conditions make ground access difficult.
Specialty Agriculture
For farms working with berries, nurseries, specialty crops, and other sensitive growing areas, aerial equipment can provide access without sending heavy machinery through the crop.
More Than Equipment. Support for Your Farm
Buying an agricultural drone is only one part of getting started. We help BC growers understand their equipment options, choose a setup that fits their operation, and get the support they need throughout the ownership process.
Solutions Matched to Your Operation
We look at your acreage, crops, terrain, and intended applications before recommending an equipment setup. The goal is to match the drone and accessories to the work you actually need to do.
Modern Agricultural Technology
We work with agricultural drone systems that combine automated flight functions, RTK positioning, application technology, mapping, and other tools designed for modern farm operations.
Built Around Canadian Farm Needs
Our focus is agricultural drone equipment for Canadian growers, with support for customers looking at spraying, spreading, crop scouting, mapping, and related applications.
Support Before and After Your Purchase

Common Questions About Agricultural Drones in British Columbia
Here are answers to common questions about agricultural drone equipment, applications, and choosing a system for a British Columbia farm.
True North Agricultural Technology offers agricultural drone systems and related equipment for applications such as crop spraying, spreading, scouting, and field mapping. The current agricultural drone lineup includes DJI Agras platforms such as the T25P and T100, along with compatible equipment, accessories, and support.
Agricultural drones can help farmers access difficult areas, work when ground conditions are unsuitable for heavy equipment, scout crops from the air, and apply certain agricultural products without driving machinery through the field. The exact benefits depend on the crop, terrain, drone, application, and operating setup.
Yes, agricultural spray drones are designed for aerial application. However, operators must follow the applicable Transport Canada RPAS requirements and the requirements on the pesticide product label. Not every pesticide is automatically approved for drone application, so the specific product label and applicable Canadian requirements must be checked before use.
They can be useful for orchards and vineyards where slopes, narrow rows, wet ground, or limited access make ground equipment difficult to use. The right drone and application setup depends on the crop, terrain, canopy, treatment, and required coverage.
Start with your acreage, crop type, terrain, application needs, and expected workload. You should also consider spray tank or spreading capacity, battery requirements, charging equipment, mapping needs, and the rules that apply to your operation. Our team can help you compare available options based on your farm.
