UAV Drone And JD DB90 Planting Sugar Beets.

There is a alot of buzz about using aerial imagery to improve agronomic performance, we think there are interesting possibilities but it is going to require some trial and error to figure how how we can use this new information.

In the meantime, we may as well have a little fun with these new tools...
We found this video on Youtube and thought people might like watching what the little UAV helicopter can do.

Jason Shaw from Michigan has posted some videos and he says in the comments it is a "dji f450 with naza and gps" with a GoPro camera.  We just think it was fun watching him buzz the tractor with his drone.

There are some other drone videos on a Farms.com chat thread.
