Are Spray Drones the Future? (I Put Them to The Test)

NEW TECHNOLOGY comes to the farm as we fight back against the weeds that have been growing in our cornfields after the heavy early-season rains washed away our corn crop. Today, Bob from Midwest Drone Applications visits the farm with his DJI Agras T50 drone to apply chemical to our drown-out areas. Without technology like this, we would struggle to find a solution to get into our standing corn crop and kill the thriving weeds.

This was my first experience seeing a spray drone in action, and I was impressed with the ease of operation and the quick setup time. In today's video, I also put my drone skills to the test as Bob hands over the controller and lets me map several areas in the field.

Join me as this new technology makes its first appearance on my family's fifth-generation farm and learn how a day as a drone pilot has made me consider purchasing a drone to use on my own acres.
