Southern Missouri | Don’t come here and try to tell the rice farmers that and actually the rice farmers neighbors too , rice uses chemicals that can be very hard on corn , soybeans and cotton, we have lots of all those here , lots of times with only a field road separating them, the rice farmers have figured out the spray drones properly operated, heavy on the properly,as in someone that pays attention to light breeze direction, can spray over wet rice fields and still be able to get very close to the edge of the field and not damage the cotton or corn or soybeans growing in the field next door , that’s very hard as in next to impossible to do with an airplane doing 165 mph and spraying a 60 foot wide pattern with only a 30 ft wingspan, drones have become standard procedure,most rice here is planted in the fields with very heavy clay content and ground rigs create deep tracks going across the heavy clay even when it’s dry ,the neighbors with the other crops have figured that out as well and when it’s to wet for ground rig and need to spray grass killer on their cotton or soybeans that are next to a rice field , (grass killers including round up will murder rice )they can call in same said drone , drone herbicide spraying here is huge business, I realize farm areas are very different as you go across the country but drones are far far far from a novelty here
