A pioneer in utilizing drones for agriculture, a man with the same condition as Steven Hawking has built a flourishing business in just 4 years.
Drones have plenty of use on the farm, and Kyle Albertson has developed services for surveying, crop spraying, and more. Diagnosed with congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD) at just 9 months old, Albertson has never let it get in his way.
Growing up in Indiana with farms as far as the eye could see, riding tractors and combines were activities that he always enjoyed. As a young man he joined both 4H and Future Farmers of America (FFA) and worked hard to develop a goal-oriented mindset to fuel his sense of independence, and the belief that he could do something dramatic with his career.
“It’s a shock to some people that I can do the things I do,” Albertson said. “It’s just old habit to me.”
Graduating from Purdue University in 2021 with a degree in agribusiness, he launched his business Albertson Drone Service LLC. the same year. Drone photography had emerged in his years at university as a hobby, but he found that farmers were really interested in aerial photography, and would pay well for drone-operated pesticide deployment.
His business has doubled its revenue in the most recent fiscal quarter compared to its first year, as well as the number of clients it maintains, and the acreage it covers.

The as-yet short journey has nonetheless gone a long way in fostering that independent streak, and speaking with WRTV, Albertson noted that he has a driver’s license and cruises around country roads in “a modified van with a joystick.”
When asked if he had any inspiration for readers, he decided to offer an entrepreneurial perspective, rather than anything to do with his CMD—as good a piece of evidence as any that he has done what all disabled people strive to do: not let their condition define them.
“If you think you can do it and it’s a good business action, give it a shot,” said Albertson.
