Southeast Washington
Have a young neighbor farmer that is getting into the drone business with a partner. They spray a 30 foot swath up to 20 mph. We had them spray some peas for us. They need to have a boundary set up to properly spray a field.
Here are some pictures of my encounter. I was clearing rocks out of the road as one went by establishing the boundary. Then one was filling and taking off while another was coming in. One picture is from nearly 1/2 mile away as one is spraying the field. They need a lot of electricity so the most noise comes from the generators. The motorcycle is to go retrieve a drone that parks when going beyond its parameters.
I think it is a great business for the young people to get into as I see it will continue to evolve.
