Agri Spray Drones Moves From Dealer to Manufacturer
BOONVILLE, Mo. — Agri Spray Drones says it is no longer only a dealer. In an August 31 announcement, the Missouri company said it is becoming a manufacturer and technology firm, with a next spray platform already in production and more product detail promised later this year.
“We have spent years training operators, dealers, and service providers — supporting them through spray season and learning what works in the field and what creates unnecessary friction,” founder and CEO Taylor Moreland said in the release. “Now, we’re using those lessons to help shape the products, software and autonomous systems our customers will depend on next.”
That next aircraft is built on the EAVision J150 that Agri Spray already sells and supports. The company’s What’s Next page is more specific than the press release. It says EAVision still assembles the machine in China. Each unit then goes through Agri Spray’s U.S. quality-control process and ships through the existing dealer network. Planned changes include Agri Spray branding, software hosted on U.S. servers, and a 22.5 gal spray tank, up from the current J150’s 20 gal. A new model name and a U.S. street price have not been published.
The company also laid out a three-year manufacturing map. 2026 is U.S. servers, U.S. quality control, small-batch assembly, and some U.S.-designed parts. 2027 is a ramp toward full-scale assembly, U.S.-managed software, and a new U.S.-designed frame. By 2028 Agri Spray wants critical components — and at least 65 percent of the drone’s cost — made in the United States. That 65 percent figure matches the Buy American “domestic end product” line many U.S. assemblers are writing toward.
Agri Spray describes the J150-based machine as part of a conditional-approval pathway. A company plan is not the same as an FCC notice. The Covered List, last updated September 18, 2026, still does not name Agri Spray or EAVision. Until a named-model approval posts, the J70, J100, and J150 remain on the Spray Drones table as EAVision.
Even so, the announcement is a clear step for a U.S. dealer that has spent years in the field and now wants a hand on the airframe. Moreland was careful not to oversell the first year. “We’re not asking anyone to confuse the first step with the finish line,” he said. “We’ll be clear about where we are today and where we’re headed next.”
What to watch next is simple: a model name, a U.S. price, serial U.S. assembly, and whether FCC posts a named Agri Spray or EAVision approval. According to Agri Spray, current J150 owners stay supported while that work proceeds.
