This scrolled through my FB feed and I thought it was pretty interesting.

John Deere Teams with Startup to Develop a Cropdusting Drone

John Deere is teaming up with drone startup Volocopter.

With as many crop dusting pilots that I've known killed while flying (usually hitting power lines while pulling out of a run), I'm glad to see this. I hate they it may put them out of work, but there are too many families without dads/brothers/sons, IMHO.

I don't think the technology (or regulations) are anywhere near putting AG Pilots out of business any time soon.

Carrying the weight of the spraying chemicals without the aerodynamic support of a wing will be a real challenge.

Crop Dusting Drones have been around for a while...
FoxTech has been selling them for a few years.
