  1. Agriculture is changing and evolving along with many other different sectors. This is not driven by anything else than real data on population growth and the shift to more sustainable solutions that lessen the impact on the environment, it's more efficient, will increase production, and minimize the overuse of applications such as pesticides, or fuel for planes and helicopters. This is a technology that must be made more available. That is why we are readying for strong market penetration in 2022. Welcome to the future of farming that is going to marry technology in ways we never imagined.

  2. Hi David thank you for the great video. I have a question I’d like to ask, you mentioned a Liquid de icer that you applied to the driveway area via the drone. Is there a product that can be sprayed from the drone directly onto crops to prevent frost damage?

  3. What about using a drone to stir up air for frost prevention on fruit crops? I know they use helicopters for this however a drone may produce less of vortices…..

  4. Can it be used in protecting sandal plantation from thieves
    By spraying some burning/ any other method to drive away the the thieves

  5. I don't have a drone licence. But I been looking into Agricultural Helicopter industry. I do have a few questions. I hope you can give me some encouraging answers.

    1) how do I get involved in the Agricultural drone business? By that are there drone companies who are looking for pilots to hire? Or is this all independent meaning I have to hustle for a job. I would literally have to knock on farmers doors for jobs ?
    2) there is a ALIGN DEMETER E1 Agricultural Helicopter. Why are people buying uav like this on the market?
    3) if I do find jobs in the farming industry does that I mean I have to buy a lot of drones?
    4) why aren't more drones pilots aren't investing into a cockpit station. Meaning have a truck with a trailer to flight drones without being in the sun ( hot weather and dealing with mosquitoes) and cold weather..
    4) is it true if I pass the drone test I have to renew it every 2 years?
    5) how much do you charge a hour in the farm industry?
    6) is there jobs every day or this consider a part time gig to earn extra cash?
    7) do I have to have the client file out some form not to sue me the drone for what ever reason stops or wind take it away and hits a car or kills livestock?

  6. I'm a New Zealand farmer I just brought a mavic mini for a bit of fun good for checking on the cattle and hunting in the bush the range is pretty bad though

  7. I'm changing from Gas Paramotor to Electric Paramotor and have order OPENPPG electric paramotor, which basically a big drone put virtically ony the pilot's back to get the trust. Need major modification for the pilot harness instead and add loop to protect the glider lines.

  8. hey there im from Germany and we got a Farm here with many small fields but big ones to.
    we were thinking aboute a drone to see oure crop from the top and see weeds ore somthing like that.
    but i think we would need a smal cheap version for the first one so my grandpa can see the good things about it.
    Anny Ideas here?

  9. Good video, but as a fruit farmer, I'm still not convinced. Here are some of my personal issues:
    1. The cost of the drone is one thing, but the cost of the software is ridiculous.
    2. I can buy a small tractor for the price of an AG drone. Crop spraying is so cheap, it would take years for a drone to break even on conventional spraying methods, even if the drone applies 100 times less chemicals.
    3. Everything I plant are under nets or tunnels. Using a drone while dodging poles, cables, hanging pheromone traps, sticky tape, etc is going to end in a disaster, with either a damaged drone or damaged plants.

    Using a drone for farm safety is a good idea and a personal need, but with 15 minutes usable flight time and the unavailability of proper motion tracking software, leaves this as only a good idea at this stage.

  10. I’m looking into a Mavic 2 pro to get started with using drones on my grain farm am I making a good choice on a drone ? Or the Mavic pro zoom

  11. I am starting a drone agriculture business in Colorado. I would love your help on what I should do to get more farm clients. Love your channel. Thanks
