Farmers are beginning to use drones for much of the same reason everyone else does, or wants to, cost and speed.

$10,000 or $15,000 purchases a nice industrial drone system capable of scanning for analysis hundreds of acres per hour, on demand and under the direct control of the farmer.

That’s probably less than 5% for what a airplane or helicopter would cost.

That's fine, use them anywhere you want, except after June 12, 2018, they are fair game in the Republic of Maine.
