It Started on Our Own Farm.

Thomas Elevated Ag was established in October 2022 with a simple goal — find a better way to spray the hilly ground we farm, surrounded by trees and powerlines. Traditional fungicide equipment wasn’t always efficient in our terrain. We believed drone technology could solve that problem.

What started as a tool for our own operation quickly turned into something much bigger.

Fun Fact: The farm in the above picture is where Mary grew up. Greg and Mary purchased their own farm in 2020 and that is currently where our shop is located.

From Side Hustle to Full-Time Operation

In 2023, what we expected to be a small side business rapidly grew into a full-scale agricultural spraying operation. Farmers in our area saw the value spray drones provided — precision application, minimal crop damage, and the ability to work in conditions that traditional equipment struggled with.

Since then, we’ve expanded to three spray crews and train interns each summer who want hands-on experience in modern ag technology.

We didn’t just study this industry. We built our business in it.

Expanding Into Drone Sales & Distribution

In December 2024, we recognized another need — our region lacked a trusted, knowledgeable drone dealer who truly understood agricultural spraying from the operator’s perspective.

So we expanded into drone sales and became a distributor for Agri Spray Drones.

We value this partnership because their commitment to quality, innovation, and service closely aligns with our own. Their mission of Empowering Rural America reflects exactly why we built Thomas Elevated Ag in the first place. Together, we are working to bring reliable spray drone systems, education, and opportunity to operators throughout our region.

We didn’t add dealership services simply to sell equipment — we added them to support operators. We also had our first sub dealers join our team in 2026!

Why This Matters to Us

We’ve seen firsthand what this technology can do:

  • Open doors for young farmers
  • Create additional revenue streams
  • Help operations stay competitive
  • Provide opportunities for the next generation to return to family farms

There is something deeply rewarding about hearing from customers who are growing, hiring help, or expanding their territory because drone technology made it possible. That’s what motivates us.

Where We Are Today

Today, Thomas Elevated Ag operates multiple spray crews, maintains in-house repair capabilities, and serves as a trusted distributor of professional spray drone systems.

We continue to focus on:

  • Real-world knowledge
  • Reliable service
  • Strong relationships
  • Long-term growth
  • Bringing opportunity back to rural communities

We’re proud of how far we’ve come — and even more excited about where this industry is heading.

A Family Operation

Thomas Elevated Ag is built around family. Our family is actively involved in the day-to-day operations of the business. You will often see Mary and the kids helping out in the shop - though not this cleaned up!

That means:

  • We care deeply about our reputation.
  • We treat customers the way we would want to be treated.
  • We focus on long-term partnerships, not quick transactions.

When you work with us, you’re not calling a corporate help desk. You’re working with people who have skin in the game.
