Guardian Agriculture and Wilbur-Ellis sign autonomous aerial-application agreement
Guardian Agriculture and Wilbur-Ellis signed a multimillion-dollar agreement to bring autonomous aerial application to growers.
Evidence notes
- The agreement linked Guardian's eVTOL crop-spraying system with Wilbur-Ellis agricultural services.
- It is a partnership event because the source announces a commercial go-to-market agreement, not live operations.
Company context
Guardian Agriculture built the SC1 autonomous electric eVTOL aircraft for commercial crop spraying. The company raised a $20 million Series A in 2023 and reported FAA approval and customer orders, but Robot Report coverage in 2025 said the drone startup had shut down.
