About Marcus Shira:
Marcus Shira was born and raised on a potato farm in Harper, Oregon and has been deeply rooted in agriculture throughout his lifetime. Marcus started his career as a Crop Advisor for Simplot where he managed the inputs on his growers fields and ensured a successful end crop.
After his time with Simplot, Marcus knew he wanted to stay close to his family and accepted a position as a Farm Manager where he managed roughly 3,000 acres. Soon after then a Rantizo representative and drone pilot visited the farm. Marcus knew right then that drone spraying was the future for the agriculture industry and he wanted to be a part of it. Marcus joined Rantizo in February of 2022 and has sprayed over a total of 130,000 acres with a UAV on many different crops in the Pacific Northwest.
