Heli Horizon is committed in providing agricultural services that are fast, efficient and accurate. The chief Pilot, Cedric McLean, brings to his aviation experience a lifetime of farming background.
We provide, but are not limited to, the following services.
Aerial application helps avoid track damage to crops, which can enhance yields. In contrast, ground equipment often incurs damage, averaging around 3% and up to 5% in areas with more obstacles.
Example 1: For canola, at 55 bushels per acre priced at $20 per bushel, the total revenue is $1100 per acre. Ground rig costs are approximately $12.00 per acre, plus an additional $33 per acre due to 3% trampling, totaling $45.00 per acre. Aerial application costs only $18.50 per acre, yielding a savings of $27.00 per acre compared to ground application.
Example 2: For wheat, at 60 bushels per acre priced at $8.00 per bushel, the total revenue is $480 per acre. Ground rig costs are approximately $12.00 per acre, plus $14.50 per acre due to trampling, totaling $26.50 per acre. In contrast, aerial application costs just $18.50 per acre, resulting in savings of $8.00 per acre.
Aerial application reduces the risk of spreading disease as there is no direct contact with the soil. This prevents the movement of spores and minimizes damage to plants, which can lead to susceptibility to diseases
Using aerial methods avoids soil compaction associated with ground equipment, allowing for better air and water movement into the root zone. This helps maintain soil health and prevents problems during harvest and seeding due to ruts or trampled straw.
Aerial application can be performed regardless of crop height, enabling late-stage application of fungicides, pesticides, fertilizers, or insecticides without restrictions.
Aerial application allows for faster coverage of larger areas, ensuring that pesticides are applied during optimal times for maximum effectiveness against pests
