It’s no secret that unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have huge potential for the agricultural industry. In fact, for many companies, they are already serving a very valuable role, even as we continue to explore their potential applications.

Agris Co-Operative is one of those companies.
“We have two cameras,” explains Agris’ Robyn DeBrouwer, holding an eBee UAV, in the following Corn School. “We fly with an infrared camera and a colour camera.”
A forty acre field will take DeBrouwer 12-15 minutes to capture, going home with 125 images to process and pass on to colleagues who look them over for variances and potential issues in the field.
