The Ag Drone Lady. Founder at Fly the Farm & Robot Farm. My involvement in the grains industry is both as a farmer and ensuring the voices of grain growers are not just heard, but actively sought when developing policy and R&D strategies.
Drone technology replaces three men on quad bikes for mustering on Calliope Station in central Queensland, with increased safety the major benefit.
Drones are becoming more popular within agriculture and it's all to do with productivity and profitability. If farmers can see a benefit, they will bring new technology into their business. Particularly when it comes to cropping, drones can provide imagery that a human can't see, and in cattle or livestock it may replace a helicopter or a man on a horse or a bike.
