Another question I hear quite a bit:

“Are drones replacing ground rigs?”

The short answer is: No.

Just like ground rigs didn’t replace every tractor, and airplanes didn’t replace every ground rig, drones are simply another tool.

Some jobs are perfect for a ground rig.

Some are ideal for a plane.

Some are a great fit for a drone.

The goal isn’t replacing equipment.

The goal is using the right tool for the right job.

That’s what good application decisions are all about.

A question I was asked recently by a vineyard owner:

“How does a drone get spray into the canopy?”

It’s a great question.

Unlike traditional ground equipment, drones create significant rotor downwash as they fly. That airflow helps move spray droplets down into the canopy and toward the target.

But canopy pe*******on isn’t just about the drone.

It’s also influenced by:
✔️ Canopy density
✔️ Growth stage
✔️ Droplet size
✔️ Flight speed
✔️ Spray volume
✔️ Weather conditions

At the end of the day, successful applications aren’t about simply putting product in the tank and taking off.

They’re about understanding the crop, the target, and choosing the right application strategy.

A question I was asked recently:

“How can aerial applications use such low gallons per acre compared to a ground sprayer?”

It’s a good question.

The answer is that more water doesn’t always mean a better application.

Water is primarily a carrier. The goal is to deliver the product to the target effectively.

Aerial applications, including drones, are designed to apply concentrated spray volumes with droplet sizes, coverage, and application techniques that are optimized for the job being performed.

Ground rigs and aerial applications each have their place, and application volume is just one piece of the puzzle.

At the end of the day, it’s about putting the right product in the right place at the right time.

One of the biggest misconceptions about aerial application is that every acre is the same.

It isn’t.

Some acres are flat and easy.

Others are steep, irregular, difficult to access, or require precise timing to get the job done right.

That’s why experience, planning, and understanding the site matter just as much as the equipment.

Every field has a story.

Every job has its own challenges.

One thing that stood out from Day on the Marsh:

People are looking for practical solutions.

Whether it’s invasive species management, difficult-to-access terrain, habitat improvement, or simply getting work done more efficiently, the conversation wasn’t really about drones.

It was about solving problems.

The technology is just a tool.

The goal is helping landowners and managers achieve their objectives while protecting and improving the resources they care about.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by booth at Day on the Marsh this weekend.

It was great meeting duck club owners, land managers, conservation professionals, and others who are passionate about the future of the Suisun Marsh.

We had some great conversations about invasive species management, habitat improvement, vegetation control, and how drone technology can become another tool to help meet management goals.

Events like this are a great reminder that successful land stewardship comes from people sharing ideas, experiences, and solutions.

Thank you to California Waterfowl, the event organizers, volunteers, vendors, and everyone who helped make the day a success.

If we didn’t get a chance to connect, or if you have questions about drone applications for wetlands, duck clubs, agriculture, or land management, feel free to reach out.

Out at Day on the Marsh today talking with duck club owners, land managers, and conservation professionals about vegetation management and drone technology.

One of the things I enjoy most about events like this is hearing firsthand about the challenges people are facing in the field from invasive species management to difficult-to-access treatment areas.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution, but it’s exciting to see growing interest in how new tools and technologies can help support habitat management and conservation efforts.

If you’re attending today, stop by and say hello!

🚜✈️🙏

Thoughts and prayers for the pilot involved.

Moments like this are a reminder of the risks agricultural aviators take every day to help produce our food and support our farming communities. Whether it’s seeding rice, applying crop protection products, or working in challenging conditions, these pilots operate in an environment where skill, experience, and focus matter every second.

Agricultural aviation is one of the most demanding jobs in agriculture. Long hours, low-altitude flying, changing weather, obstacles, and tight operating windows are all part of the profession.

Today is a good reminder to keep this pilot, their family, and the entire agricultural aviation community in our thoughts.

Wishing for a full and speedy recovery.

The challenge with invasive species isn’t finding them.

It’s staying ahead of them.

By the time Phragmites, Lepidium, or Russian thistle become obvious, they’ve often already gained ground and started impacting habitat quality, access, and management goals.

Successful vegetation management isn’t about reacting.

It’s about timing.

The earlier you identify the problem, the more options you have available to address it.

Five years ago, if you told most people we’d be using drones to manage weeds in marshes, spray steep hillsides, treat rice fields, seed cover crops, and support conservation projects…

They probably wouldn’t have believed you.

Now it’s becoming just another day at work.

Agriculture is changing fast, and it’s exciting to be part of it.

What’s one thing you think ag drones will be doing routinely five years from now that sounds crazy today?
