Farm drones have the potential to help farmers in three key ways: 1) They can spot disease and other problems in crops faster than traditional scouting methods, 2) They can help farmers use less chemicals, water, and other inputs by precisely applying them only where needed, saving money and reducing environmental impact, and 3) They provide data that allows farms to improve productivity through more efficient "closed-loop farming" practices. Drones are especially well-suited for agricultural use because farms typically involve large areas of private land where drones can safely operate under 400 feet and within visual line of sight of the operator.
