Taking Drone Technology to New Heights with Sky Ag Tech and XAG

XAG V40

Introducing the XAG V40, a revolutionary mapping-then-application agriculture drone.

This is the first tilting twin-rotor structure ag-drone in the world that provides unique mapping-then-application solution for precision farming in small or mid-size farms, and other various scenarios.

The XAG's unique centrifugal spraying system chooses specific droplet size for applications.

With this tech, XAG's ag drones are able to generate droplets evenly, every droplet size is the same in spraying. And the adjustable droplets size ranging 60 - 400μm. And with 5-10m effective spray width, V40 can cover 20 acres per hour (Spray rate: 12 L/acre).

Since the spray rate of aerial application is about 20% of ground application, with precision application techs, V40 can save extra 30%-50% chemical use and input cost, that means we only need 10%-15% spray rate vs ground applications. That's great help to both cost saving and go green!

Video: A chain harrow is a game changer

Utilizing a rotational grazing method on our farmstead with our sheep helps to let the pasture/paddocks rest. We also just invested in a chain harrow to allow us to drag the paddocks our sheep just left to break up and spread their manure around, dethatch thicker grass areas, and to rough up bare dirt areas to all for a better seed to soil contact if we overseed that paddock. This was our first time really using the chain harrow besides initially testing it out. We are very impressed with the work it did and how and area that was majority dirt, could be roughed up before reseeding.

Did you know we also operate a small business on the homestead. We make homemade, handcrafted soaps, shampoo bars, hair and beard products in addition to offering our pasture raised pork, lamb, and 100% raw honey. You can find out more about our products and ingredients by visiting our website at www.mimiandpoppysplace.com. There you can shop our products and sign up for our monthly newsletter that highlights a soap or ingredient, gives monthly updates about the homestead, and also lists the markets, festivals, and events we’ll be attending that month.
