These have been used in Japan for a while. You transport them to the field on a truck, set in the coordinates of the field, service the sprayer, and set it to work. I would imagine there is a point at which large fields make conventional ag spraying more efficient. In Japan most of the fields are small, so this makes more sense.

You would think these nimrod media types would show a picture of a drone instead of farmers walking in a field. Truly bad editing.

I worked for a Chemical Distributor for years.
What’s your issue?
Ethylene Glycol?, Methyl Ethyl Ketone? Isopropanol 99? Dibutyl Ether? Methanol?
These are the tame ones.

Name anything that isn't a chemical. Anything. Electromagnetism, gravity.... hope.
