Independent developer Digital Chiefs Studio today announced Harvest Skies: Crop Dusting Simulator, a business simulation game where players build and manage an agricultural aviation company. A playtest is planned for April 2026, with signups available through the game’s Discord server.
About the Game
Harvest Skies puts players in the cockpit of a crop duster. Take contracts, mix chemicals, fly low over farmland, and spray fields while managing fuel, wind, and obstacles. Running the business is just as demanding as flying the plane.
Start with small jobs and an old biplane. Upgrade your aircraft, expand to new airfields, hire pilots, and grow your operation. Take on community missions like fighting wildfires when disaster strikes.
Key Features
- Fly Low, Spray Steady: Ultra-low altitude flying over farmland. Manage fuel, chemicals, and obstacles. Wind throws you sideways. Fog grounds you. Storms close whole regions.
- Mix Your Payload: Craft fertilizers, pesticides, and irrigation mixes. Different chemicals for different jobs. Better chemistry means better results.
- Run a Business: Take contracts, build reputation, manage costs. Upgrade aircraft and equipment. Expand to new airfields across different regions.
- Help Your Community: Emergency missions like wildfire fighting. Jobs that don’t always pay – but earn something money can’t buy.

- Grow Your Operation: Start small with one biplane. Hire pilots, automate processes, build an agricultural aviation empire.
