Hi, I'm Tony Kramer, your host of the Agriculture Technology podcast, and I'm sitting down with

agriculture technology and equipment experts to help you enhance your operation for today,

tomorrow, and into the future. In this episode, I talk with Ross Florog about using UAVs

for application in agriculture.

With that, let's dive into it.

Like I said, we are going to be talking about something a little unique in the ag sector.

Now, I know there's been a lot of buzz around it in the last, let's say, gosh, even probably 10 years around

using UAVs in the ag industry.

How can we use them?

Where can we use them?

And how can they really benefit the users or the customers that are hiring UAVs for anything?

I'm really excited for this episode because we do have a real-life UAV applicator that we

are going to talk to.

So, Ross, thank you very much for joining us on the show today.

To get started, let's just hear a little bit about you and your background and how you got

to where you are today.

Yeah, well, thanks for having me. I farm here in southeast central, North Dakota, and

NDS research team was out doing some blackbird deterrent tests on how to keep blackbirds out

of the sunflowers, and they brought a small spraying drone out in

2021 and then they had a product they were trying to spray right get them out of the sunflowers

and all my head starts kind of turn in a little bit and the wheels start going and called the buddy

and said hey do you want to buy a drone he goes yeah let's do it initially we were just going to use it for our own
