A Midwest farmer says growers are quickly investing in precision drone applicators to reduce inputs and wait times for commercial applicators.
Danny Assman farms in western Iowa near the Nebraska border. He started Iowa Aerial Applicators less than two years ago to help offset his own drone licensing fees.
“It’s expanded rapidly,” he shares. “Currently, we service Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, as well as Missouri. We’re working our way east.”
He tells Brownfield the sprayers are best used to reduce applications of fungicides and insecticides by spraying only specific parts of fields.
