Yes. Strata UAV holds FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot certification, FAA Part 137 Agricultural Aircraft Operator certification, CA DPR Qualified Applicator credentials, and aviation liability insurance. We can provide certificates of insurance naming you as additionally insured on request.

We regularly work on avocado, citrus, vineyard, berry, nursery/ornamental, and row crops (tomatoes, peppers, leafy greens) across North County San Diego. If your crop isn't listed and it grows in San Diego County, give us a call — we probably fly it.

A free multispectral scouting flight over your entire farm with our Mavic 3 Multispectral, a processed NDVI health map of every block, a written per-acre quote for the spray program you're considering, and a short walkthrough of the results. All at no cost, no obligation to book. It's how we prove the value of what we do before you spend a dollar.

Our service area is within 100 miles of Carlsbad, California. Typical jobs are in North County San Diego (Fallbrook, Valley Center, Ramona, Escondido, Vista, Bonsall, Pauma Valley, Temecula). Beyond 50 miles, we may add a travel fee — always quoted upfront.

We apply any EPA-registered and CA DPR-approved pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, foliar nutrients, and fertilizers that are labeled for aerial or unmanned application. We do not source or supply chemicals — the grower provides them or we coordinate pickup from your preferred supplier.

Yes. We work with OMRI-listed products and can support CCOF-certified organic operations. We don't certify organic status — but we supply the application records you need (product, EPA reg #, rate, coverage map, weather, license #) so the records stay in your Organic System Plan. Let us know your certification requirements and we'll coordinate on record-keeping.

We follow California DPR regulations (3 CCR §6614, drift prevention), every pesticide label's wind and weather requirements, and our own internal safety standards. We don't apply during active precipitation, and we ground the drone when conditions exceed what the product label allows — typically 10 mph or less. If weather cancels a scheduled job, we reschedule at no charge. Our re-fly guarantee also covers coverage gaps caused by issues on our end.

We invoice after each job through our field service system. You can pay by ACH (preferred for jobs over $500, ~1% processing) or credit card. Payment terms are net 15.

We're a young company operating new-generation equipment. As we complete our first jobs, we'll publish customer testimonials on this site. If you'd like to be one of our founding growers, ask about our early-customer program — we offer meaningful discounts on first-season work in exchange for feedback and permission to feature your farm in our case studies.
