meet the farmers
A family operation—some by blood, some by choice—built on decades of agricultural experience and a shared passion for bringing new technology to local farms.
Our story
Flying Farmers Ag Services was founded in 2024 by brothers Donald and Dennis Hays and their longtime friend Chris Geeding. What started as a conversation about emerging spray drone technology quickly turned into a business built on trust, teamwork, and a desire to serve the farming community in a new way.
Between the three of them, the team brings more than 80 years of hands-on agricultural experience—from row crops and hay ground to equipment, agronomy, and everyday farm operations. That background shapes everything they do. They know how valuable timely applications are. They know what matters in the heat of the season. And they know how new tools can help solve old problems when used the right way.
Flying Farmers Ag specializes in spray drone sales, service, and custom application across southwest Ohio. Their goal is simple: bring reliable technology and real support to local farmers who want precision, flexibility, and efficiency without adding unnecessary complication to their operation.
They are operators first, dealers second—which means every recommendation comes from experience, not a sales pitch.
Why we built flying farmers ag
The farmers didn’t get into spray drones because they wanted to chase a trend. They built this company because they saw real needs in the field:
Narrowing weather windows
Ground rigs limited by crop height or soft fields
Increasing demand for timely, accurate applications
Farmers wanting more control over their own acres
Technology advancing faster than most operations have the time to learn
Flying Farmers Ag aims to bridge that gap—offering custom work when you need it, the right drone when you’re ready to own one, and ongoing support you can count on each season.
Meet the Farmers
Flying Farmers Ag is more than a business name — it reflects who we truly are. We are farmers, neighbors, and longtime members of the local ag community. We’ve lived the long days, tight windows, and tough decisions that come with each season. Our work with drone technology is simply an extension of that commitment to practical, dependable solutions for the farms we serve.
A lifetime in agriculture with deep experience in crop production, equipment operations, and real-world problem solving in the field. Donald leads application operations and brings steady hands and clear communication to every job.
Dennis has spent decades working in farming and ag services. His background in equipment, maintenance, applications, and field operations helps ensure each drone is flight-ready and every job is executed safely, timely, and accurately.
A longtime family friend and trusted partner, Chris brings industry experience, a strong work ethic, and a forward-thinking mindset that keeps the business grounded while moving it forward. Chris leads the sales and customer support operations, working directly with farmers to make sure they get the right equipment, training, and ongoing support.
Together, they operate as a tight family unit—some related, some chosen—but all committed to serving local agriculture with integrity and reliability.
