The real farmer hires this company to over-seed the fields and do Crop Spraying<\/a> with a winter cover crop most years, just a month or so before the harvest of the summer crop. I find it fascinating to watch them dive, bank and turn as they seed the fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have slowly been upgrading and using technology to our advantage, and it has yielded great results. We order new farming motor equipment from an agricultural duty motors supply<\/a> shop and stocked up on lubricants from a wholesale industrial equipment lubricant manufacturer<\/a>. We also work with Agricultural Data Drone Services<\/a> to inspect our crops and their health, and have made some decisions right on time to have things work out better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We specialize in food crops, and those are always in high demand. It has been a steady business, but we’ve had a few ups and downs that did often feel a bit outside of our control. With us now starting to lean into helpful technology however, we have managed to better maneuver and make decisions with much more precise information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Needless to say, their an important tool in our arsenal now, and we couldn’t be happier. Here’s a video of the helicopter doing it’s thing. It’s actually quite fun to watch it go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
