NAAA Quoted in Agri-Marketing Magazine Drone Article

NAAA CEO Andrew Moore was quoted in AgriMarketing’s magazine for their “The Future of Drones in Agriculture” article. The magazine is read by 6,000 subscribers, 10,000 eNewsletter readers and the publication’s website receives 30,000 visitors per month.

Moore reiterated that uncrewed aerial application systems (UAAS) should be held to the same or comparable application standards for efficacy and drift as crewed aerial applicators. He stated, “With drones we don’t have the spray drift models to be able to accurately predict the effect on materials applied with a drone. On the other hand, we benefit from decades of efficacy data from spray planes and single rotor helicopters.”

The author interviewed numerous drone companies to gather their insights on the future of drone use in chemical applications. The article also highlights findings from a Stratovation Group research study, which revealed that 72% of current users plan to buy more drones or use more drone services in the next three years. Stratovation conducted the research in partnership with: National Corn Growers Association, SweetWater Technologies, Agri Spray Drones, CropLife America, Syngenta, the Ag Retailers Association, The Fertilizer Institute, and D.C.
