Saw a drone they were using at a farm in North Dakota. It was definitely big enough to need an FAA license. They were damn enthusiastic about it, I get the feeling a couple of them chipped in for it.
If the incumbents keep acting like the backside of a donkey, a new generation of repairable farm machines would probably work but need a lot of capital and damn good relationships with local dealers.
- mattbk1 6y agoTo your first point, a fair number of drone "service companies" have gotten going in the state, so owning your own isn't completely necessary. If you want to sell to those companies (and the farmers they serve), developing new sensors and/or analytics to back them up is one way to get into that space.
