Success StoryFarmer starting to use drones.



Farmer starting to use drones.

Author: William Rogers

Planning Unit: KSU Administration

Major Program: Aquaculture

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

Drone Technology can provide opportunities for Kentucky underserved farmers, veterans, women, and other underserved populations throughout the commonwealth. Through the use of drones, I taught 20 technology classes to 389 direct contacts by demonstrating educational research-based information in zoom meetings, classroom settings, and field demonstration to teach the following:
     Which drone would work best for farming enterprises. Demonstration of the drones. How using drones to make farming easier in daily work. How to obtain a license for drone flight. Which drone to chose for different farming activities.
