πΏ Introduction
Timothy Danley, who is farming on the fertile land of California, is not just a traditional farmer β he is part of a generation of farmers who are taking farming to new heights by connecting it with technology. There was a time when he had to take the help of an airplane or helicopter to know the condition of his fields. But now, he has a tool that has become the eye of his farm β the DJI Mavic 3T drone.
π Drones usher in the era of Real-Time Farming
Timothy monitors his fields every day with the help of drones. He can not only do a complete aerial mapping of the field, but can now understand in real time where the crop needs more attention.
A typical example is when his orchard faced problems with flowers not blooming. Timothy created an NDVI map (Near Dense Vegetative Index) using the Mavic 3T, which gave him an accurate idea of ββthe health of every tree in his orchard. This allowed him to immediately target specific trees that were in trouble.
π‘ This technology is for every farmer
Timothy believes that the use of drones in agriculture is not just for big farmers. Starting with an entry-level drone, even small farmers can do aerial photography, crop health monitoring and soil mapping. He believes that future farming is incomplete without drones.
