Rantizo Harvest 100 Heavy-lift Agricultural Drone

Rantizo was founded in 2018 in Iowa City as an early provider of agricultural drone spraying, obtained FAA approval for drone-based application and built a network of spraying operators covering hundreds of thousands of acres. It is now headquartered in Houston, Texas, with manufacturing and testing facilities, and serves farmers, ranchers and state and federal agencies.

Its Harvest 100 is a US-assembled heavy-lift agricultural drone with a high-capacity airframe, larger tanks and swappable payloads, terrain mapping, obstacle avoidance and GPS guidance with customizable spray rates. It is designed for FAA and NDAA compliance, is BVLOS-capable and swarming-ready, and is rated at about 500 acres per drone per day. Alongside the aircraft, Rantizo offers drone sales and white-label supply, contract services, leasing, training and support, and distributes through partners such as Nutrien and Helena.

Restrictions on new foreign-made drones in the United States since December 2025 are pushing growers and service providers towards domestic or allied-sourced spray drones. More broadly, heavy-lift spraying drones with BVLOS and swarm capability are becoming the next step for large farms seeking to replace ground rigs and manned aircraft.
