Before I moved to the barndo, I was surrounded by fields that were farmed by one family. We got beans almost every year. I know very little about farming, but I have heard of rotating crops. Once here, I’m next to a different farming family that sure seem to be doing a whole lot more to their fields.
The drone was back.
I know for certain that the crops were dusted by the standard airplane method early in the planting season. And this is the 2nd time I’ve seen a drone spraying. Both are amazing to watch! Out of curiosity, I asked ChatGPT what the advantages and disadvantages are between drones and traditional crop dusters.
So why a drone?
Drones are higher precision and not only conserve chemicals (making it a less expensive option), but also reduce environmental impact. They’re better for smaller areas due to their limited battery life and the amount of chemicals it can hold. Basically, if you’ve got a large field, you spring for a crop duster. Thanks, ChatGPT. 🙂
Here’s hoping the extra care by Mr. Farmer produces a bumper crop!
After chicken shit being spread before planting — and turning the ground over at least 100 times — I sure hope this year’s crop is the best ever.
Now you know: During the last months of World War II, the Germans, British, and Americans agreed to a limited ceasefire to allow the the Allies to airdrop food to starving Dutch civilians.
