Haha, yeah I live here in the same town. It looks like it might be a good intro to the new tech and how to use it properly in Ag. I've been talking with several farmers (and flying some of their fields for fun) and the advantages it can bring to their operations is astounding. The FAA is undermining that to a large degree now, but that HAS to change. Since when, as a free country, do we single out a technology that can help so much and remove it from the free market? It makes no sense, since those who make their living with a product tend to be the most responsible with said equipment. It's a natural correction system built into the market.
