Drones in Agriculture: Preparing for the Planting Season

Use drone maps and analysis to prepare your fields for a successful growing season

webinar

As winter draws to a close, it’s time to start thinking about the growing season ahead. While most people associate drones with growth and harvest, there are plenty of ways to put your drone to work before planting season begins. From scouting for weeds to assessing drainage tiles, growers are increasingly using drones as an indispensable, year-round field management tool.

Watch this webinar to hear from Justin Metz, Technology Integration Specialist at Bowles Farm, and Jim Love, Light Robotics Manager and Herbicide Specialist at Beck’s Hybrids. Attendees can expect to learn how use drones as a pre-planting and field prep tool this season. You’ll also get an in-depth look at DroneDeploy’s newest real-time mapping tool, and hear tips for making smarter crop management decisions in 2018.
