SUMMARY:Agriculture Drone Education Day
DESCRIPTION:Drones have rapidly become a powerful tool in modern farming practices. The use of drones in agriculture has steadily gained traction\, particularly in the application of agricultural inputs such as pesticides\, herbicides\, and fertilizers. Spend the day at a field-style event exploring the key benefits and challenges of using spray drones in agriculture on June 5 at the Agriculture Drone Education Day. As everyday farming costs continue to rise\, it is important to understand options for getting crops from planting to harvest while not breaking the budget. The free event will feature educational presentations on drone features\, hauling\, safety\, insurance\, regulations\, and state requirements. In addition\, there will be equipment demonstrations and a networking session with industry professionals to help answer questions around adding drones and other agricultural technologies to a farming operation.
