McElwain Sprayers Aerial Applicator
Cropdusting

Cover crop seeding Our founder went for his first airplane ride on March 15th 1972 in Liberty, MO.

When you come to McElwain Sprayers, you can be sure you’re not only getting the most modern technology. You’ll receive exceptional quality because aerial application is not only our job, it’s our passion! He was so enticed by the outing that he started his training, and received his private and commercial licenses within 21 months. After attending Evan’s Spray School in Slayton, TX, he returned to

Saint Joseph, MO. He bought his first plane and modified it by placing a surplus World War II tank engine inside. In our first year of business, we only had 19 customers. So many things have changed in 40 years -- there are new chemicals on the market, the airplanes are bigger and fly faster. Our business is growing every year. We attribute this to our down-to-earth demeanor and old-fashioned values. Come meet the guys and gal at McElwain Sprayers! We can assure you that no matter your aerial application need, we can get the job done. We look forward to serving you!

Aerial applicators appreciate the work of all farmers every day and especially today, National Farmer’s Day. Aerial applicators are honored to treat approximately 28% (127 million acres) of U.S. farmers' cropland and a lot more when you consider they also treat forests for timber, pasture and rangeland and seed by air with cover crops and cash crops. Farmers deserve praise for their hard work in feeding, clothing, and providing bioenergy to the world. Thank a farmer for the food on your table today!
