In this episode of "Your Drone Questions Answered," Founder and Head Pilot of 19th UAS Precision, Grant Puckrin, joins our host John Dickow to answer the question: How are drones being used in agriculture?
Grant talks about how drones are used to map fields for farmers and to identify various issues, providing farmers with a spot spray solution that takes time off their hands, lowers the costs of operations, and increases yield.
He also talks about the pain points within the agriculture industry where drones could come into play and how the technology has the potential to reduce the total amount of product needed to be purchased.
