Zach Johnson, the “Millennial Farmer” is a 5th-generation farmer who’s spent his life growing, working, and learning on his family’s farm. His wit and dry sense of humor appeal to children and adults alike. A product of the millennial generation, his appreciation of new technology blends with his old-fashioned work ethic, and he offers a unique ability to deliver his message in a way that resonates with lifelong farmers as well as those with no knowledge of agriculture. With growing consumer awareness about where their food comes from, Zach has identified the need for an independent voice from the front lines of agriculture. Zach actively promotes agriculture by sharing his day-to-day experiences in the agriculture world while providing farmer-to-farmer education to help facilitate a collaborative conversation between farmers and the public.

If you ran a 6 drone pack and you managed a 8 hour shift without having to do maintenance aka replacing motors batteries bearings wiring I would be extremely impressed ..... Those look like a extremely high maintenance item..... Now if they make a large commercialized unit with larger parts we might be talking about something but I do not see it being less maintenance in any way shape or form but with that being said orchards or small operations I do think those would be an good option but this scale isn't gonna be possible for any decent sized row crop operation .... They need to land fill and change batteries automatically and auto pilot from the base station before the row crop operation makes sense and the shear amount of batteries and charging you would need seems wild .... It can't be hard to make a automatic battery and chemical loader

We hired a local drone crew to spray 2 of our fields last year with herbicide and they did a fantastic job. We had a lot of morning glories in tall corn and if we ran a sprayer through the field, the vines would’ve pulled the corn stalks down, so the drone was by the far the best way to spray those fields for us.

After you have your to scale and georefrenced map, you import it into a flight plan software and then tell the T50 where to spray. The radar array on this drone has nothing to do with mapping.

It's so nice seeing these actually being used. I remember back in 2015 when I was in high school I went to a tech competition with this exact idea and had a smaller model of a sprayer drone. In our project however, it would've been able to autonomously land on a fixed pod and recharge/refill. The power would've been provided by a solar panel array. So the whole application was intended to bee 100% self sustaining and autonomous. The only human input was refilling the tanks on the pod (however we did think of a way to catch rainwater and mix the chemicals automatically on the spot, therefore not needing any human intervention at all). Maybe one day in the future we will have something like this too :D

As said in video. It’s best for spray that does not need to get everywhere exactly. Spraying herbicide you would likely need a higher rate, slower speed, tighter rows. So it’s not great for large field herbicide right now.

A typical farmer would call in an ag plane for those situations, as it's the better option. I do a lot of herbicide work with mine, aircraft are the gold standard for the best kill.

@@Skinflaps_Meatslapper I will be checking cost to do kill down of wheat. Ther have been a few pilots die spraying crops. I stood at end of field on road. After a 60 yard swamp. If I had a cattle stick I could have hit his wheels. Copter went down a mile from me, few power lines cut, plane made it to airport. But saw wrecked air tractor on I94 coming from ND I heard. Pilot did not make it. If a drone crashes. I might laugh. But if someone dies spraying my field… I know I am not responsible. But I would feel bad.

@@larrythompson8630 I'm an ag pilot, I know the risks, I've lost friends. Most crashes are survivable with minor injuries, but according to my last count, we're up to 10 deaths this season. The reality is, without ag pilots, the majority of our country's ag production will become prohibitively expensive and we're a necessary part of that world. Drones won't replace ag aircraft in any situation except in niche applications, but what they will do is make it far more dangerous for us until new regs are made to separate drone traffic from us, and both ag pilots and drone pilots already have far too many regs to deal with as it is. The tipping point is going to be when new battery tech is developed that will allow electric aircraft to rival petroleum in energy density. That will allow drones to become much larger, faster, and more affordable. They need to be larger and faster to do more acres per hour and improve the spray pattern, and they need to be more affordable since the average drone operation charges twice as much per acre as an ag plane...that's not sustainable when you consider the acres that the entire fleet of ag planes cover per year. If you were to replace the entire fleet of ag planes with drones, you'd need 40-50,000 of them at a minimum, provided you don't mind waiting until the application window has passed you by. When ag planes are needed, it's not just a few farmers here and there, it's more like half a state worth of farms that need sprayed, and current drone and operation models just can't keep up with that need, logistically speaking.

Zach, Ryan, over at “How Farms Work”, had his ergonomist demo a couple and at the end of the video, he said he was going to pursue getting his license and drone. Ryan, like you, saw concrete benefits. Update: Ryan’s last video he reiterated again about getting an ag drone. He already has a license but “may” need to upgrade to a commercial license.

It is a lot of cost and many weeks waiting and doing training.. just fyi, its more than a college degree to get 2 drones heh

I am a city guy from San Diego who moved to TX to get away from the insanity of Crazy town. I love seeing this tech into a positive and practicable purpose. This is awesome stuff and I am interested maybe as a dealer too. I’m 63 and lost my leg as a Disabled Vet who isn’t giving up, so I am looking for something else. Praise God for this tech.

Thank you for showcasing upcoming technology and entrepaneurship of some young guys! I am 77 and have seen technology change feom sliderule to pocket calculator to personal computer to smart phone. Every change has its challenges and its advances. As an engineer in the electric power industry (coal fired and nuclear) there have been advances in our lives that sre amazing. Having lived through the birth of space travel and moon landings we became stagnant until Elon Mush and SpacEx showed how it can be done! Where would we be without his pushing boundaries! I enjoy your shows and follow you and Welker farms. I do miss seeing your youngest daughter who used to ride along with you; I did see the show where she was in her car seat and you were sharing cookies! I guess as a growing girl she is now into other things and her dad isn’t cool anymore.

The ability to work regardless of soil conditions, zero ground compaction, no maintenance/upkeep of the complicated hydraulic/drive systems or an engine, no need for a storage building of sufficient dimensions to house a large oddly shaped machine at 1/10th the cost of a hi-wheel spray rig. Additionally, the drone is a LOT easier to transport field to field compared to needing to drive the wheeled sprayer on the roads, losing time, possibly disrupting traffic and wearing out those expensive tires prematurely. This is awesome.🫡

How long does the battery last before you change it and how long does a battery take to charge?

@DanielGonzalezkyv Ай бұрын

I ve seen videos of these in Mexican fields and they come with 3 batteries each that last about 15 min flying and 8 min to recharge after cooling using a 12000w gas generator , so continuos spraying with 3 batteries is posible.

@lemagreengreen Ай бұрын

I think this Drone is the DJI AGRAS-T50, from the specs I can find it can hold a hover with a full payload for 7 minutes but presumably as it empties the flight time increases... maybe 10 minutes? possibly more. They claim 9-12 minute full battery recharge time so with three batteries it could run continuously. I assume wind speed, flight pattern etc affects this but it does seem like three batteries would ensure no charging down time.

What a cost saver. No sprayer needed, no diesel for spraying, save time spraying by air. No crop damage. You need to think about buying a setup to use.
