Unlock Your Ranch’s Potential with Drone-Applied Spike 20P Sagebrush Control

Sagebrush stretches across Montana’s ranches, a rugged symbol of the state’s wide-open spaces. But when it grows unchecked, it can choke out grasses, strain water resources, and limit the productivity of your land. At Montana Ag Drones, we’re helping Montana ranchers take control with an innovative solution: drone-applied Spike 20P herbicide. This powerful combination of cutting-edge technology and proven sagebrush management delivers a range of benefits, from boosting forage to enhancing rangeland health. Here’s why our service is a game-changer for your ranch.

1. More Forage, Healthier Livestock

Dense sagebrush competes with grasses for sunlight, water, and nutrients, reducing the forage available for your cattle. Our drone-applied Spike 20P targets sagebrush at the root, clearing the way for lush grass growth. With up to 50% more forage possible after treatment, your herd gets the nutrition it needs to thrive—without the added cost of supplemental feed. It’s a direct boost to your bottom line.

2. Restore Rangeland Balance

Overgrown sagebrush can throw your rangeland out of whack, leading to erosion and less plant diversity. Our precise drone application of Spike 20P herbicide restores balance by selectively thinning sagebrush, letting native grasses and forbs reclaim the soil. This strengthens your land against drought and wildfires—crucial for Montana’s unpredictable climate.

3. Support Wildlife Habitat

Montana ranches are home to more than just livestock—wildlife like sage grouse and mule deer depend on them too. Too much sagebrush can limit the open spaces and food these species need. With our drone service, we create a tailored mosaic of sagebrush and grassland, enhancing habitat while keeping your ranch productive. It’s a win for biodiversity and your operation.

4. Conserve Water

Sagebrush guzzles moisture, leaving less for grasses and streams. By using drones to apply Spike 20P, we reduce sagebrush density with pinpoint accuracy, improving soil moisture retention and even supporting small waterways on your property. In a dry Montana summer, every drop counts—and our service helps you make the most of it.

5. Lower Fire Risk

With wildfires on the rise, overgrown sagebrush is a liability, fueling fast-spreading blazes. Our drone-applied Spike 20P creates natural firebreaks by thinning sagebrush stands, reducing fuel loads and protecting your land, livestock, and infrastructure. It’s proactive peace of mind for fire season.

6. Save Time and Money

Traditional sagebrush control methods—ground crews, heavy machinery, or fixed-wing aircraft—can be costly and time-consuming, especially on Montana’s rugged terrain. Our drones deliver Spike 20P efficiently, covering acres in minutes with minimal labor and herbicide waste. You get long-lasting results from a single application, freeing up your resources for other priorities.
