DRONE SERVICESPrecision application · Northern IndianaPreparing for the 2027 spray season
Agricultural spraying and spreading for Northern Indiana. Local owners, thoughtful field planning, and attention to the details that shape a quality application.
What we do
H&K Drone Services will focus on application—not product sales. You or your agronomy partner select and supply the labeled product; we coordinate clean water, plan the field, and execute the application.
Drone application of fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, foliar nutrition, biologicals, and other label-compliant products when the product and field fit aerial application.
Cover-crop seed, granular fertilizer, and compatible dry materials, priced around pounds per acre, material flow, field layout, and refill logistics.
Application capacity for agronomists, cooperatives, seed retailers, and independent crop advisers who need another reliable option during narrow windows.

Why drone application
The value is not just speed. It is being able to apply at the right time without rutting a wet field or trampling standing crop.
Attention in every pass
A quality application starts before takeoff. Our planning approach brings the product, field, equipment settings, and conditions into one application plan.
Review boundaries, crop, nearby sensitive areas, obstacles, access, and staging. Understand the target before planning the passes.
Review label requirements and align carrier volume, droplet size, flow, flight height, speed, and pass spacing with the product and coverage target.
Review wind and weather, monitor the application, and adjust or pause when conditions no longer support the plan.
Provide an application record and communicate what was completed, so you and your agronomy partner have a clear account of the work.
The product label and field conditions guide every application. Coverage and product performance depend on the crop, product, weather, and operating conditions.
From field to flight
Share location, acres, crop, intended use, timing, product, and target carrier or seeding rate.
We evaluate field geometry, obstacles, airspace, label requirements, and travel, then confirm the clean-water, refill, and staging plan.
You receive the operating assumptions, price, responsibilities, and a practical weather window.
You supply the product. H&K coordinates clean water, mixes and loads on the trailer according to the label, applies when conditions are acceptable, and provides the application record.
A sister company to H&K Thermal. The same local, owner-operated mindset—organized as a separate company for agricultural application.
Visit H&K Thermal ↗Who we are
Kyle Showley and Hunter Schumacher built H&K around a simple idea: the people answering the phone should be the people responsible for the work.
H&K Drone Services brings that owner-operated approach to agricultural application across Northern Indiana. All required FAA and Indiana credentials, insurance, and operating compliance will be in place before paid applications begin.
Straight answers
H&K Drone Services is building its 2027 priority list now. Every paid application will be completed under the required credentials, insurance, product label, and field-specific operating plan.
The customer or agronomy partner supplies the approved, labeled product. H&K mixes and loads it on the trailer according to the label for aerial application, then provides the field planning, application service, and application record.
H&K coordinates the clean water needed for mixing. When practical, we may use a farmer-approved high-flow source at or near the field; otherwise, we obtain water from an approved utility filling location. We confirm source permission, flow rate, water quality, refill access, and trailer staging before the job.
Yes—when the product label permits aerial application and the product, carrier rate, field, weather, and surrounding crops are a responsible fit. Each job is reviewed individually, and H&K may recommend different timing or decline an application when label or drift conditions are not acceptable.
No. Carrier volume is reviewed for the product, crop, coverage target, and field. We quote the work around the product label, application plan, and refill logistics.
Our home base is in Northern Indiana. We will travel farther when acreage, timing, and route density make the job practical. Send the field location and estimated acres for a custom review.
A drone can enter wet, soft, irregular, obstructed, or late-season fields without wheel tracks or crop trampling. It is also useful for small blocks and time-sensitive work where a large ground rig is a poor fit.
We are building a priority acreage list for the 2027 spray season. Submitting a field does not create a service contract; it starts a planning conversation and helps us schedule capacity.
Let’s talk about your field
Share your field, service, and timing. Kyle or Hunter will follow up to review the fit and prepare a field-specific quote. We are planning for the 2027 season.
