“Behind them is an American shop floor, an American-made heavy-lift aircraft, and master spray agreements with two of the country’s largest ag retailers.”

Marianne McInerney, President of Rantizo

“California is where the Harvest 100 launches: the most valuable farm economy in the country, served by an American drone.”

“As foreign aircraft are priced and regulated out of this market, Rantizo intends to be the American name growers and ag retailers call first.”
