my guy did it on 60 ft and should of done it on 40 ft!!! perfect 20 ft space across the field not sprayed ,I know his goal was to get 2300 acres a day done ,now I know how he does it! is there any recourse for terrible job.except go to a drone or airplane next year? basically I made a hard decision this summer to spray or not and spend 35 dollars an acre and then he comes in and spray 2/3 of the acres. my yield monitor will have some wild info this fall.


I think we all needed to “encourage” our aerial applicators to take pictures of our fields and have them tell us what they see AND why.

Or, you’re going to have 2 choices: 1. find someone different that actually knows the capability of their equipment (like Sloughclub) or 2. Buy a drone or high tall boy sprayer and rip it out yourself


With data storage and minimal weight of camera and data storage transmission. continuous video of their application that could be reviewed by farmer later in slow motion or assign GPS coordinates within the field to view the crop for several reasons. I wonder why they don't offer that as part of service already. It could likely be automated.
