@BorderViewFarms we have been watching your videos for a few months now. If I knew of a younger farmer just starting out, I would direct him to your youtube channel. You could give a master class in raising row crops, the very best explanation of corn I've seen from anyone else on RUclips. I watch most of them. Zach, Chet, Brian, Farm Hand Mike, Machinery Pete, and big iron to name a few. You give just that little more comprehensive explanation that makes it all come together. Of course, haha, I myself don't need the explanation!
Drone tech is pretty interesting. Like anything else it's gonna have applications where it shines and applications where it's no ideal for. Be interesting to see where the tech will be in 10 years.
The thing with Drones is that the chemicals you are applying are not yet regulated for the drone as compared to land or air applicators. They claim you'll save money on chemical cost but there is not enough data on drone application... And the chemical companies don't have the recommended application rates for drone usage...
Curious your thoughts on GPA pros/cons air vs ground. I always lean towards ground to get higher carrier rates especially for fungicides but maybe Im just being stubborn
A ton of people have done tests in hopes of seeing a difference between drones at 2GPA and ground at 20GPA. The drones have come out ahead in the vast majority of the tests because it thrusts the product down into the canopy. There may be less particles per inch with the drone but the ones that are there are more concentrated. Check out Becks PFR tests on actual bushel numbers
It IS efficient, even with the generator. I believe the generator setup is for expediency, at the moment, and will eventually be replaced. Currently, a portable solar generator could reduce the generator load and eventually replace it nearly entirely. A sufficient size storage battery that is charged from mains power overnight could easily change the drone batteries during the workday. The technology is there now. Don't believe me? Look at what Cat is doing with electric equipment.
Several but FAA part 107 and I need an Ohio Dept. Of Ag Aerial Applicators licience along with some FAA exemptions for over weight and a few other things.

Glad You got a truck upgrade too. Phil deserves a new truck, he is always hauling. Looking forward to seeing the truck in videos.
You are going to need a new trailer, couple of drones and another Brock!! Kidding but, it will be cool if you can add this to your operation.
This video was amazing! Thank you!
Very informative video of how to make the drone business profitable and efficient. Looks like some nice black ground these guys are working up.
Congrats on the 30k. 1 of your more interesting vids this yr.
Great video, Nathan!
NATHAN THAT WAS A REALLY AWESOME VIDEO !!
HOPEFULLY YOU CAN PURCHASE ONE SOMEDAY !!
Awesome video Nate 👍👍
BOOM 30K
Congratulations
Aaaa my eyes! What was that red stuff!!!! LOL
That somebody would be me enjoying that nice red iron!! 😊
Great video.... hope you get mega views!
I saw you at the FSR. I shook your hand and mentioned your RX shirt. It was nice to meet you in person. You need to be nicer to Brock. lol
I can see the red iron does a cleaner job on the beans in the trailer. Like the old saying is ,if ain't red ,leave it in the shed.
I thought if it's red... Leave it in the shed
@@kirklothert3435 lol 😂. Nope
@@garyfaulds2613... More like if shit is red... Leave it in the shed
If it’s green,it’s really mean, if it’s red,leave it in the shed . lol !
About time we see some real equipment on the channel
He shows real equipment all the time green is mean
aww this is so cool, would love to see this thing in action over your fields! it's SO much bigger than i thought before lol
Thanks Nathan for showing some red equipment too
Congrats on 30K!
I am very impressed with the capability of the drones, awesome video but the pretty red paint really made this great 😂
Procrastination is my standard operating mode.😅😅
Great video.
Good video!
Good video good to see ya
Application rates vs. large acreage... I am interested to see how they compete .
The Montpellier elevator. Hubby says he's been over that scale a few times. I didn't think it looked like Waldron to me.
Yep Montpelier

About how much does it cost per acre to have a drone spray compared to a plane or a haggie?
It's definitely more than what I pay the Hagie
Good morning
Awesome video, Nathan. Does he have a website?
Yes link in the description
Great video! So if you buy a drone you almost have to have some type of tender trailer to go with it to make it work efficiently ?
I could cheaply throw some ibc totes on my gooseneck and use that but year these nicer trailers are pretty awesome.

What liscenies do you need to operate one of the drones?

Don't get out of bed unless your climbing into Red 👍😂😂
Is that the same guy that was on the millennial farmers channel
Yes
@@BorderViewFarms I thought so.
Congrats on 30K!
