Carlson Farms & Carlson Ag Aviation

Carlson Ag Aviation

Carlson Ag Aviation is a leading provider of aerial application services in west-central Minnesota. Founded in 1985 by Lynn Carlson with a single aircraft, the company has grown over four decades into a trusted regional operation with two locations and three large turbine Air Tractor aircraft.

In addition to aerial application, Carlson Ag Aviation operates a John Deere ground applicator and functions as a full-service ag retail business, with retail agreements in place with all major crop protection manufacturers. We are also seed dealers for Corteva’s Brevant® brand and Mustang Seeds, allowing us to serve customers with a complete, integrated approach.

Carlson Ag Aviation is built on professionalism, strong operational excellence, and disciplined execution. We invest in our equipment, prioritize safety and accuracy, and avoid shortcuts that compromise quality. After nearly 40 years, the business remains family-owned and operated, with a long-term commitment to serving growers and supporting a high-performing operation.

Carlson Farms

Carlson Farms is a mid-size, family-owned farming operation located in west-central Minnesota. The farm primarily raises corn and sugar beets and is operated with a strong sense of family pride, stewardship, and long-term responsibility.

We focus on running a clean, organized, and well-maintained operation, investing in our equipment and infrastructure to ensure reliability and efficiency. Our approach emphasizes sound agronomic practices, careful planning, and doing the job right rather than cutting corners.

As part of a multi-generation family operation, Carlson Farms values hard work, accountability, and respect for the land. The farm continues to evolve alongside Carlson Ag Aviation, creating a stable, professional environment for those who take pride in agriculture and want to be part of a well-run operation.
