Partnership connects hundreds of professional pilots with industry-leading nutritional and chemical crop input products.
STUTTGART, Ark., April 2, 2026 — American Drone Network (ADN) has announced a
partnership with BRANDT to advance crop input solutions specifically tailored for agricultural
spray drone operations. Together, BRANDT and ADN will develop and optimize adjuvant,
nutritional, and surfactant systems designed to enhance the performance, efficiency, and
effectiveness of drone-based crop applications.
As part of the partnership, ADN members will have access to select BRANDT products with
added benefits, helping drone operators adopt proven crop input technologies while improving
operational efficiency and application results.
ADN members will also be able to source products through BRANDT’s established distribution
network, ensuring reliable availability and streamlined access for operators across the
agricultural landscape.
BRANDT (www.brandt.co), a family-owned company with a long-standing legacy in
agriculture, has built its reputation over decades by delivering innovative crop input solutions to
growers around the world. Founded in 1953, BRANDT remains family-led and is widely
recognized for its commitment to research, quality, and supporting the success of farmers and
agricultural retailers.
Together, ADN and BRANDT aim to accelerate innovation in aerial crop application by
equipping drone operators with advanced formulation systems and agronomic expertise tailored
to the unique demands of drone spraying. This partnership represents a shared commitment to
supporting the next generation of agricultural technology while strengthening the capabilities and
profitability of ADN’s growing network of drone operators.
BRANDT technical representatives will participate in ADN's Drone Days regional training
events, providing hands-on instruction on product selection, mixing procedures, tank mix
compatibility and adjuvant selection. Training sessions will qualify for continuing education
credits applicable to pesticide applicator license renewals.
"Chemicals are only effective when applied correctly," said Charlie Booker, ADN training
director. "We are committed to providing the education and support that ensures pilots applyproducts at proper rates, with compatible tank mixes, under appropriate conditions and in
compliance with label requirements."
ADN said it plans to integrate BRANDT product access into its platform through a digital
system, inventory management tools, application rate calculators, and automated documentation
connecting chemical usage with flight records.
"We're building toward a fully integrated platform where chemical selection, application and
documentation flow seamlessly," Booker said. "Our partnership with BRANDT is a foundation
for that integrated experience."
The BRANDT partnership is the latest addition to ADN's growing ecosystem of industry
partnerships. ADN earlier this year announced the acquisition of CropFlight, a flight logging and
operational management platform, establishing what the company describes as the nation's
largest agricultural drone pilot network.
"We're not building a product company or a service company — we're building a complete
ecosystem that addresses every obstacle preventing pilots from succeeding and farmers from
receiving professional service," Booker said. "The BRANDT partnership is one critical piece.”
