Some farmers will invest but most would rather outsource the service. Partly because of the training required and the need to keep abreast of changing regulations. In the uk, many farmers rely on contractors so it’s really business as usual.

Really interesting video and something I've been thinking of entering as a drone enthusiast. My background is in remote sensing and artificial intelligence and so I was wondering if there is much interest in multispectral surveying of fields at the moment? Perhaps something that is more useful when you are also able to conduct precision spraying operations as well.

Great video, as a drone enthusiast but with no agricultural background my question would be why don't the farmers invest in this relatively cheap and simple tech for themselves rather than outsourcing it?

Many farmers are used to outsourcing spraying operations to specialist companies. Agricultural Contractors are part of the normal way of working in the UK. Also, some farmers will only need this service at certain times of year and investing in training and equipment mean they would rather outsource. All that said, the largest market in the short term will be specialist markets like green house shading. These are high value areas and drone offer the fastest and safest way of applying the paint.
