Are you planning to start a small farm operation, downsize your present operation or reorganize your existing enterprise? Precision agriculture drones can help you develop a comprehensive farm plan to create, design and lay out those enterprises.
Agriculture drones can: scout, spray, and seed; collect and use data; distribute irrigation; map your farm and identify borders and property lines; help plan farm structures, security, and workers’ safety; determine equipment locations; and help plan planting and harvesting schedules, and crop yield.
Space is limited to 40 participants.
