The use of drones in agriculture is relatively new in the United States due to the process of getting approval from the Federal Aviation Administration, FEMA, and Dept of Agriculture, as well as the time it takes to navigate a long list of Federal, State, and Local regulations, permits, and licenses.
But, while the United States has struggled with getting agricultural drones into the hands of farmers and services providers, other countries have been leveraging this technology for years and studies and reports continue to show that utilizing these highly sophisticated machines, agricultural operations can realize increased profitability through decreased costs, increased yields, and decreased damage to the land being farmed.
Below is a list of related articles, studies, and other information that was used as the cornerstone of Mo Agri Drones business plan. As you can see drones in agriculture are the future as costs and regulations increase, the use of drones will become vitally important to successful farming operations around the globe.
