CropLift was born from a simple conviction: American farmers deserve better tools, specifically through innovative aerial solutions. Founded by brothers Anthony and Samuel Johnson, two Columbus, Ohio natives whose careers were defined by service, precision, and putting others first.
Anthony spent 11 years in the United States Air Force, leading logistics, air transportation operations, and talent acquisition across multiple overseas tours. He learned firsthand what it means to execute high-stakes missions with zero margin for error — and how the right technology in the right hands can change everything, particularly in the realm of precision agriculture.
Samuel served his community as a Firefighter and EMT, responding to crises with calm, competence, and care. That same instinct to show up and get the job done drives the way CropLift operates every single day.
Together, they channeled their years of service into something new — bringing military-grade precision and first-responder reliability to the farms and fields that feed America, enhancing them with advanced Crop Lift solutions.
To provide American farmers with the tools, technology, and expertise they need to feed the nation, we offer precise aerial solutions that save them time and money through efficient and reliable applications in precision agriculture.
