[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1823922, member: 12520"] Drone spraying is the way of the future. Many drones can carry 100 lbs and spray 40 acres per hour. A drone with 3 batteries always has a charged battery when it returns for a refill. Add more drones for scale. They can get out on the fields when conventional sprayers can’t. They can scan a field for weeds and spot spray as required. All for a fraction of the price of a conventional. They will take off here when the approvals come through for herbicide use. Presently in Canada they are approved for fertilizer and seeding, but not herbicide. Word is sometime within the next year or so. I know a guy down south that is making a great business out of it already and that’s without herbicide. Biggest drawback I see is the time it takes to get the license, but if someone wanted to make a business out of it it would seem like a minor hurdle. [/QUOTE]
