How Drones Are Changing The Landscape In Agriculture

Taylor Moreland introduces agricultural drones designed to help farmers apply products aerially with minimal human intervention. These drones, tested in Missouri during the pandemic, offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional methods like helicopters. They can target specific areas, reducing chemical use and benefiting the environment. While new to the US, such drones have been used in Asia for years. Arthur Erickson of Hylio sees them as transformative for agriculture, offering automation and efficiency. The market for these drones is expected to grow significantly, driven by labor shortages and changing agricultural trends.
