The World's Largest Crop Spraying Drone - DJI Agras T30

[@MrOffshore]

It’s great to see technology like this assisting farmers to get better yields from their fields. Americas farmers are the backbone of this country…the work is hard, but extremely rewarding. I appreciate everything these hard working men and woman do to put food on our tables! Thank you!!

[@Adam_Poirier]

Wow the technology is just insane these days. I can always think back to how many years we'd have a little bit of weed pressure but it would be off towards the center of the field and it just wasn't worth running over a ton of corn to go after it. The concept of flying a drone in and tackling it is really something. Very cool man

[@johnperry5102]

that is the smart way to spray, no truck tiers knocking all your product down and crushing it, and not making a total mess, great video

[@thenighttale-g8x]

plus you just sit in the shade, waiting for the drone to comeback and refill the chemical and battery, and sit again in the shade

[@denisbrisebois7658]

Totally AMAZING !!! Good use of drones for farming efficiency. Again, this is Fantastic !!!

[@danielcook2430]

Who could imagine back in the days technology of today's farming , from.and single plow with mules to drones., FANTASTIC video Ryan.

[@TonyFisherPuzzles]

Video starts at 6.15. Thank me later.

[@bmw328igearhead]

I'll thank you now. Thank you!

[@bruceboshart3280]

Technology is simply amazing! A lot different than when I was farming!

[@theorganicveilradio6623]

This is what I call TECH that is actually useful and for an excellent cause! GO AMERICAN FARMERS!!! "ANF"

[@stanhensley3082]

Andrew your the MAN!!!! THANKS 😊.

[@ryanwaege7251]

Just too freaking cool. Thanks for showing off the drone

[@Pigpen1202]

That is awesome. Farming technology is getting way cooler

[@chelsear5835]

Spraying closer to residents. Awesome. We love spray and cancer. Super cool

[@felixzapata1402]

Oh, man!!!....drone footage of a drone at work....awesome!!!!!!!!

[@clinthochrein888]

That is freaking awesome seeing a drone spraying ! Did you have it fly by into town an pick up a case of beer? 😂😄

[@pabloendara5285]

This is a great idea. The dji spraying drone could be used to provide maintenance to the solar farm in small towns. As solar panels tend to get dust accumulation because of the open sand fields, This drone could be of great help to clean the panels.

[@SimonKL11]

It is amazing to see a drone that can spray crops👍😉 the technology makes progress every day, thanks for the video👍

[@dundeek.9348]

This Chinese drone is fantastic!

[@kenthorsen4558]

I would think with a little advertising Andrew could get a lot of business with the hunters and their food plots. Amazing technology for sure.

[@andytuck13]

There’s a lot of demand for these. Wish I could even get all the fields done people have requested to be flown. Flying deer plots would make a good business venture for someone.

[@erikerken]

This is really cool. Great job US farmers.

[@reginaldwashington9357]

This is awesome especially for small farmers.

[@timmattison6553]

Thats pretty cool to be able to spray from the driveway. Technology sure has come along ways

[@joefann6436]

这个太适合大面积的机械化农场了，极大提高了生产效率，加油兄弟

[@patkelly7999]

Great job Ryan, Andrew and Travis the kick start man, that should give it a real boost😉👍👌😎

[@jerrybrock5335]

Just went back and watched your first two videos. You were just a kid. Lol. Keep going. From another Wisconsin guy.

[@ryanh.8472]

Hey Ryan. I know how these operate I actually flew one of these when I was in college at highland in Freeport IL when a company came out. It is definitely useful especially if want money save cost to spot spray. The technology for drones has definitely became high tech in the ag business.

[@snakerancher]

I always wonder what your dad thinks of all the new technology out there. It's crazy what they can do with drones.

[@joeyf504327]

SKIP TO @6:13 If you want to just see if ly. 6 minutes to get to the drone!!!

[@cassiuspuckett8789]

Awesome using drone technology to apply your herbicide. Cool.

[@gamingwithgarvin1177]

Awesome video we just sprayed 2 weeks ago!! Love the channel man

[@HowFarmsWork]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@AX1A]

Good for Everest to deliver oxygen bottles & water to climbers in jeopardy. Reckon one could make a good living doing so, while enjoying the outdoors

[@eprohoda]

thank you-that's splendid picture- buddy~ =)

[@passby8070]

Nutrien is an amazing company!

[@williamcartright6931]

Saw this being done today on an ol back road farm. Had to check it out

[@cashking8056]

its crazy to think how technology has changed the world. so many use cases for drones.

[@Eamo-21]

awesome video ! we've some very inaccessible fields here in Ireland where our only option is spraying by hand or by helicopter. The sooner drones become more mainstream, the better

[@bmwrider1931]

If u need help I can fly over and help u get started. Just let me know I can save u money on drones big time.

[@agdronesnorthwest]

Great follow flying with the video drone

[@threeriversforge1997]

I wish there was someone around here with one of these things. In the ongoing war against invasive plants like kudzu, privet, honeysuckle, and bamboo, being able to apply an herbicide at the top where the leaves are.... well, that'd be a game-changer! Tens of thousands of acres of land are not only lost, but thousands more are devalued because they're so close to thickets of invasives. Something like this drone would be a godsend, helping to halt the growth long enough for native plants to get established.... and work crews to clear the area. Right now, as fast as you can clear the brush, it just grows right back. It'd be a million-dollar business opportunity for someone who can get ahold of the developers and government agencies who handle the purse strings!

[@Blackwellll3066]

Love the drone sprayer makes it easier to owner a sprayer especially when ya have smaller feulds, and cheaper to run since a pick up and trailer is all that's needed not a huge sprayer and semi truck.

[@maverickagriculture]

Love this drone!

[@HM-0410]

It’s amazing how far farming has come in the past 10 years. Is this the same drone he used to drop the beet cover crop or is it a different one? Didn’t know if you could just change out the tanks or not.

[@waterskiingfool]

You tried double drones again? It amazes me how that thing works

[@Flyingaceful]

Wow! I heard T40 came out not too long ago

[@jamese9329]

Seeing that fedex van on that country road reminded me of the movie castaway

[@samrogrer4959]

when they come back for new spray for another run do they also change the batteries ?

[@tonymckeage1028]

Great Video, thanks for sharing

[@brittblanton8342]

Great video Ryan, very informative and great drone footage of the drone 😂. It’s amazing the technology today and I won’t to say the crops look great 👍

[@fazerainbow5674]

awsome video ryan thumbs up and shared

[@derekjensen5918]

Another great video Ryan and thanks for sharing with us. Technology has come so far specially for Agriculture. Do you see your self getting one for your farm and if so do you see your self using it to replace one of your current methods?

[@HowFarmsWork]

I’ve considered getting one, though I’d like to continue to see how it performs before doing so. Andrew is a lot more knowledgeable and him having one gives us access to one which is definitely a benefit. No sprayer tracks!

[@gamingwithgarvin1177]

Never seen a drone spray before

[@thelamboshow8819]

Nice

[@WillHumphries-v5z]

what rates was the drone spraying at

[@Alberto27816]

What's the time of flight of that drone ?

[@l.a.hoghead1534]

Wow. I was wondering when drone input applications would start. now I know.

[@jordanschneider6505]

Technology is becoming so advanced and at this rate we may see more high tech quicker than farmers may have ever thought. Also ryan do you guys use any stress-mitigating biostimulants befroe harvest?

[@daleley7645]

Amazing!

[@marknunya3035]

Very informative and 😎😎

[@bhavyagolyan4709]

Hi, Could you please tell by how much percentage on average did your crop handling get better after using the dji agras

[@iwaswrongabouteveryhthing]

yep, need all the numbers involved, must not be worth it if he doesn't mention it

[@Greg_Gatsby]

Good content. 👍

[@Okie-Tom]

Very neat technology! How long does one charge of battery last? What is the cost of a drone like this, $30,000 or something like that?

[@barriewright2857]

This is just the beginning of the automation of farming. Sometime in future a farmer will tell his robot combine harvester, that the crop needs to be gathered in. Or tell his robot tractor that fields a,b,c needs to be plowed reddy fort the robot seed sower. Or send out a drone to inspect his/her crops and see if they need any spraying or what needs to be treated or harvested because they have reached optimum maturity. And he/her haven't moved from his house ones apart from talking to his machines to do the work Orsome.

[@Finnv893]

What makes you think that future farming will even need soil? Check out vertical farming and aeroponics- chemical free, minimal water use, maximized nutrient intake, harvested using trickled down automated tech from the auto industry, much closer to urban centers to cut down transportation cost and not beholden to weather or seasonal patterns; safe and fresh food at affordable prices.

[@barriewright2857]

@@Finnv893 Absolutely brilliant technology that's going to be so great in supply of the Necessitys of life. More output per square metre than the normal farm. Just hope this technology spreads across the planet so every one benefits and hope it doesn't go into the hands of powerful corporations or financial institutions trying to turn the technology into a cash cow.

[@doclull1989]

Hey Ryan!! How does the cost compare between spraying with a drone and an airplane?

[@Orion33759]

Typically $2-4 MORE per acre for a drone. Due to how long it takes to refill and swap batteries. Drone operators are running about $400 per hour and you can cover 30ish acres in that frame. When you have power lines or a hilly field, there's no other aerial solution

[@digger5858]

The future is here today what will tomorrow bring? Another GREAT video !!!

[@jitenanand4899]

has it top hat collision avoidance system or any parachute for accidental crash due to system failure?

[@lvymaan7781]

hi sir please tell how much litre water capacity and price

[@christopherclarke9316]

Extraordinary! No such thing as 'dumb' farmers anymore. Less waste, better productivity, environmentally less damaging with reduced overspray, the plus's go on.

[@jitenanand4899]

A 3D Flightpath Planner Software will be an added benefit.

[@busterbailey370]

That’s cool

[@BusyDoingNothin]

Do this have some sort of auto steer or mapping as you go? How to determine for overlap? Thank you. Great video

[@rickcoleman8903]

Have a dji mavic 2 zoom they do make very good drones I use mine to look over my property.

[@myviews2284]

Whats the price

[@FPVScorpian]

Question for you….do you still stay standing by if it’s a foggy day or do you just scratch the day?

[@Fulltimer]

Do you have a cost for a drone and 3 batteries?

[@andytuck13]

Just under $36k for a complete package with full warranty, training, licensing support, and service.

[@hfff1]

What was the intermittent spraying when it shifted positions on the end of runs?

[@andytuck13]

It’s spraying the end of the pass. Since the speed is slowed down it pulses the pumps to not overapply product.

[@hfff1]

[@MaverickDroneSystems]

WOW

[@texasaerodrone]

Are more farmers purchasing drones or is there still a market to go out and do multispectral and spraying?

[@jimvance3236]

Awesome! Does it make a difference going across the row vs with the row as far absorption ?

[@andytuck13]

The air movement of the propellers help spray droplets move through the plant canopy. With this kind of application you shouldn’t see a difference across the rows or with them.

[@carloscorrea7029]

What's the maximum range between the aircraft and the control??

[@TheClint18]

Roughly what would be the cost per acre to hire this out or to compare to a ground rig? $5/ac? $10/ac?

[@dr.emilschaffhausen4683]

I've heard there are some test drones for spraying out there that have a weight capacity of 300 to 600 lbs. That's a significant volume of product.

Just different colored caps I used to identify the front. Actually using a combination of 11002 XR and 11002 AIXR to get the best droplet combination.

[@BradenPeterson-gb4rp]

How long can it stay airborne for while dispensing at that rate?

[@elibarikinsenuka475]

I want to spray 2,4D as post emergency herbicide on maize farm using agras t30,what is the right dosage per Ha?

[@kshym0te492]

What about battery backup? how much area do each battery cover?

[@andytuck13]

T-30 comes with three batteries. They stay charged via a generator in the trailer and can keep the drone flying throughout the day. Acres per flight vary based on rates, field geography, and weather conditions but it’s common to get 4 acres per flight. You change the battery each flight.

[@gerardosoria5409]

Price bro?

[@ryanharkins9383]

I wonder if this would work in a residential spraying outfit

[@danrose3233]

This would be a great tool for small research plots, but not for large fields.

[@Orion33759]

I've seen 400 acres done in two days... Not sure what you mean by its not great for large fields... It is, especially ones with obstacles like power lines, and hills.

[@ridgerunner80]

What are they using as a base carrier that didn't look like water topping off the tank

[@andytuck13]

Maximum N-Pact and water

[@philipdoebele6912]

How did you transfer your planting maps to the drone controller? Please reply. Thanks!

[@andytuck13]

The remote control accepts a .shp file that you can create using almost any gis software. I used Ag Leader SMS to import the monitor data and export the boundary files.

[@waylinvanhalen]

Looks like a lot of wind going down fkn up the spray

[@darinkauffman1026]

Hylio out of Texas has the largest Agro drone. 18 gallon tank and covers 50 acres per hour. AG-272 I love DJI drones, but I just found this company while doing research before starting a drone spraying company.

[@govegasorgofarmin7942]

Capable of spraying non mapped fields? Or only compatible with some type of precision software?

[@andytuck13]

There are multiple modes of automatic and manual flight patterns. You can simply draw in the boundary using google maps right in the controller or on your computer. The drone accepts shape files that can be exported from any gis program including John Deere operations center.

Good job. I've been using this drone for several months for spraying crops here in the Philippine. Great technology.

[@joshuamaynard5435]

Is drone Spraying worth it. Herbicide applications, and fungicide just trying to figure out if it is worth the money your thoughts much appreciated

[@billsauberlich7337]

Would the Radiate product be more beneficial applied with post herbicide or later with fungicide?

[@andytuck13]

Radiate Next helps the plant handle different yield limiting stressors from the environment better. The more plant stress we see, the more response we get from radiate. At time of application we still had 40% of the yield to be determined and it’s been on the dry side, so we expect to see better kernel development by applying radiate at this time. Some farmers make multiple applications…in furrow at planting, again at V4, and then at tassel.
