Hi, I’m Richard, the owner of Aerial Ag Services. I’m based near Corsica, South Dakota, and farming isn’t just something I do—it’s what I’ve grown up around and continue to work in every day. I’m currently involved full-time in row crop production, so I understand firsthand the challenges, time pressure, and rising costs that come with modern farming. That real-world experience is what pushed me to start Aerial Ag Services.

Over the past several years, I’ve developed a strong interest in drone technology and how it can be applied in agriculture to solve real problems. What started as a curiosity quickly turned into a practical tool I saw real value in—especially when it comes to precision applications, field scouting, and reaching areas that traditional equipment can’t handle efficiently. I’ve spent time learning, practicing, and investing in the right equipment so I can offer services that are reliable and actually make sense for local operations.

My goal with this business is simple: provide farmers with a service that saves time, reduces waste, and helps protect yield. I’m not coming at this from the outside—I’m in the same fields, dealing with the same conditions, and making the same decisions. That’s why I care about doing the job right and building something that people can trust and rely on season after season.
