Having a bird’s-eye view of your crop is very informative. Having that bird’s-eye view of your crop in real-time is where drone technology in agriculture becomes very powerful for your Pest Control Adviser’s and Certified Crop Adviser’s Foremen, as well as your variable rate person to make prescriptions within hours of the initial report.
With subsurface drip irrigation, you can more efficiently water crops. However, gophers and tractors are two big factors that cause leaks. Knowing how many leaks you have can determine how many people and supplies you need.
When your Pest Control Advisor notices insect pressure in the field, and it’s spreading fast, he can deploy a drone and see the entire affected area to write an appropriate recommendation for spraying only the affected area.
These successful use cases of using real-time imagery out in the field as well as how it affects your bottom line will be covered in this class.
