Nolan County, Texas

Aerial application in Nolan County, Texas

Nolan County is cotton, wheat and cattle country on the lower plains, with plenty of open acres where applying products from the air makes practical sense.

We fly from locations in Bay City, Ballinger, Cameron and Brady, Texas.

Cotton and wheat on the lower plains

Sweetwater is where county government sits and is also the largest population center, with Roscoe the next largest community listed in the Handbook of Texas.  Nolan was carved out in 1876 and organized in 1881.  It covers rolling uplands in the north and plateaus cut by valleys in the south, at elevations between 2,000 and 2,700 feet.[1]

Federal data for 2022 list 443 farms on about 403,000 acres, with cotton on roughly 7,800 acres and wheat on about 12,300.  Fields of that size are well suited to aerial work, because an aircraft can treat them quickly and does not have to wait for the ground to dry out.[2]
