Subject: Wheat leaf rust - plane vs drone


Lone Wolf Ok
It finally arrived in our fields, wheat is heading, have light to heavy in different fields with different varieties. Suggestion came to look into drone - 1400 ac estimated 33 hrs of drone spraying time. $10/ ac. Aircraft 6-7/ ac.

Drone sounds usable is rate can get to 2 gpa. Understand plane is 3 gpa, but per agronomist plane will cover better.

Total cost for plane $13.60/ ac. Was quoted up to $15.50/ ac.

Hopefully the fact sheets are on target that minimum return will be 6 bu/ ac since paying 3 bu/ ac for this. Fact sheets have wonderful numbers for increased yield if ' adequate to great moisture)
