How Farms Work by Ryan Kuster is a KZfaq channel based in rural Potosi, Wisconsin. Our mission is to teach those who didn't grow up on a farm what the farming life is like. These videos show the Kuster family working together raising cattle and crops. We believe everyone who wants to know more about farming should be able to share the farming experience with us and we look to educate the world on many essential agriculture topics.
How Farms Work takes place on ~1,100 acres with around 75-200 cattle at any given time. Four John Deere tractors are currently used on the farm, which are a 4020, 4640, 7600, and 8235R.

The future of crop spraying. In the not to far future, that how all farms will be done. The tech is about 98% there. Amazing to see and I'm glad you show us the advanced side of farming Ryan!!

@littlewingpsc27 5 күн бұрын

This is potentially a great use of drone technology going forward. Gives you the ability to spray when you need to and not damage the crops in the field by driving over them. Curious to know how many refills you needed to do, and how many battery swaps you had to do to get the fields finished? I've been working some in the package delivery space using drones and battery life tends to be really short with drones of this size. Did the Android app use the map information to derive the flight paths all on its own, or did that have to be manually inputed?

Wow I hope it's economical for you. With the way things are going you'll have to go to f-15 school to fly on. Was hoping you would bring up the cost of permits and fees tied to flying a drone. In the chemicals it will spray liquid versus solids if it does solids. Nevertheless hoping you and yours are having the best Sunday

I plan to use one for at least fungicide. On a year like this, they can operate when a ground rig can’t get in and the hay can’t be cut. Lots of days this month wishing it would dry up enough to get the crops sprayed.

Get a contract for upgrade to the future Lazer zapping tech. Also Edison Motors utube did a drone review on a logging drone they make. They sell and train u on big red to make a hybrid. New cat dot generator, 250kw battery bank, ev regen axels. 3 kwh per mile. Recycles big red into a mobile generator with double redundant systems. Also can coach farm solar battery systems. Run silent in fields, cities, yards and charge on the road. Puts the co2 right where the plants need it.

Do the drones use a GPS type of system, that you can programme in the fields layout, then every flight is then totally automated.??

@andytuck13 3 күн бұрын

Yes it’s automated but does need occasional feedback from the pilot. There are also many settings that can be adjusted to optimize efficiency and accuracy. AgriSpray training and local dealer support is invaluable when it comes to understanding how to operate these drones well.
