Richardson Farms in White Marsh is one of the largest growers in Kale in the state of Maryland. Which is why the Diamondback Moth, one of the world’s most notorious crop killers, love their fields. Instead of conventional pesticides, Brian Richardson, calls in Kirk Floyd and son William “Bugg” Floyd of KDrones to air drop hundreds of thousands parasitic wasps onto his crops.
