When you come to McElwain Sprayers, you can be sure you’re not only getting the most modern technology. You’ll receive exceptional quality because aerial application is not only our job, it’s our passion! Our founder, Floyd, went for his first airplane ride on March 15th 1972 in Liberty, MO. He was so enticed by the outing that he started his training, and received his private and commercial licenses within 21 months. After attending Evan’s Spray School in Slayton, TX, he returned to Saint Joseph, MO. He bought his first plane and modified it by placing a surplus World War II tank engine inside. I We have been in business for over 40 years. We have adapted with the industry and now are a family owned business. We can assure you that no matter your aerial application need, we can get the job done. We look forward to serving you!
