Editor's Notes
- Today I have been asked to talk about drones and what we have learned from our drone work so far. Today I am going to focus on … Very informal … Ask questions!!
- To some the word DRONE leads to negative thoughts Ground Hog Hunter
- Play, Scout, Imagery, Other Fixed –wing vs. Rotor Camera, Tablet, iPad Auto-Pilot, Stitching Image processing – Computer, hard drive capacity $‘s – Cameras & Software can be expensive - ROI Stitching takes time What other regulations do you need to be concerned with? Crashes happen – COST to replace
- How much did this drone cost Do you have insurance
- Now lets answer some of those questions! What do you want to do with your drone? There are different features/benefits /options with each different style. This may lead you to chose one type over the other.
- Limited uses! Best Battery life
- More options Limited battery life
- The components Puzzle pieces – The challenge is getting them to all fit together!
- Current situation for commercial use
- If you claim it on your tax return it’s considered commercial use If you fly a field and then sell products from that field its considered commercial use.
- FAA Website
- Now switch and talk about uses and what we have learned
- Tire tracks? Split power pole 28 application – last field, Leaving last field broke nozzle, in hurry to finish before rain, farmer just “stuck in” a nozzle to finish What is the real question we should ask? What rate was coming out of that nozzle! N plots lower left See 0 rate
- DATA From day 1 Precision Ag has been about gathering data Big data is the newest phrase Is a drone any different than a Yield Monitor? Using both to gather data to make management decisions for your farm
- Left pic - This year didn’t need a drone to document standing water Right pic - Same field a few weeks later, think what infrared photo would look like good areas and wet areas
- Locate tile lines, can do the same with google earth Map drainage patterns Help to verify management zones
- SCOUTING – FIELDS LOOK DIFFERENT FROM THE AIR! You get a birds eye view of your farm Maybe we will scout more often Do a better job scouting the entire field Quicker and more efficient
- SCOUTING – FIELDS LOOK DIFFERENT FROM THE AIR! You get a birds eye view of your farm Maybe we will scout more often Do a better job scouting the entire field Quicker and more efficient
- Show: Good areas vs. bad areas Compaction Tire tracks!! Tile Lines
- Explain infra red colors Explain yield map colors Do the good areas in infra-red match yield zones Image taken 6/13 – What is happening in a wheat field at the end of June
- Explain Field: 2X Manure No Manure Treated beans vs. non treated Tillage vs. no-till Beans at the south end were 5 bu. Better than the north end
- Dicamba damage Sprayer cleanout issue Damaged beans yielded 7 bushels more
- We have come along way but …Drones in infancy stage. What does the future hold for UAV’s in AG? I don’t know But I am really looking forward to the next several years to watch how this technology is integrated into Ag. From a technology standpoint – This is going to be a fun time to be involved in Ag.
- Swarm bots from the Olympics – Could we see swarms over our fields in the future?
