Our mission is to serve farmers, landowners, and other entities to provide quality, accurate, and effective aerial application services.

Who are we?

Zahm’s Aerial Enterprises L.L.C. was founded in the fall of 2022 by lifelong Michigan farmer and pilot, Liam Zahm. After frustrations with the lack of active aerial applicators in the greater West Michigan area, he decided to use his expertise from working in the aerial application industry to fill that need.

Our Fleet:

1977 Gumman G-164B AgCat

The airplane that started it all for ZAE. The AgCat is boasts a 330 gallon hopper and is powered by a monstrous 1340cu/in radial engine and produces 600hp. This purpose built aircraft is an absolute workhorse and is still able to hold its own in the world of 500 gallon turbine powered crop dusters.

How we are different.

Safety is our number one priority, always. Our second priority is service. Because we are a company built by active farmers, we understand better than anyone the hardships and realities that our customers experience. We will never take advantage of, price gouge, sell junk products, or blatantly lie about application rates to the people who entrust us to spray for them. When a farmer wants a 3GPA application, we will actually spray at 3GPA.

2024 DJI Agras T40

The newest addition to the ZAE fleet, the DJI Agras T40 is one of the most effective spray drones on the market. Although it only has a 10 gallon hopper, it can cover a reasonable amount of ground when operated efficiently. Being relatively small and easy to transport, it is the ideal choice for difficult fields and specialty crops that would otherwise be impractical for an airplane.
