G+_Brent Burzycki Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Those are some huge numbers for drone tech. And a huge percentage being in agriculture.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Brent Burzycki Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 It is very interesting the rules relates and pertaining to agricultural use. The rules are very confusing and it is clear the rules need to be set before the market will really take off fully. We will see I guess but I would be amazed if the reality of personal drone tech does not happen soon after the details are figured out. I would love to be able to send my drone to the store for me..

G+_Eddie Foy Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Of course the numbers are speculation. A single ruling from the FAA can destroy those numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Brent Burzycki Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Eddie Foy Of course - but there is already a unspoken rule in the agricultural community that if you use drone tech to overfly your own property to increase harvest production that is not commercial use and that type of use will not be enforced. I think we need to know just how powerful the AG market is when it comes to having a voice in government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eddie Foy Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Unspoken rule is not law. If a cop didn't see it, I didn't do it. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Brent Burzycki Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Eddie Foy clearly - I know this.. but Ag is a huge motivator for the US and the FAA is easily motivated with money and lobbying... If it helps farmers - it will be approved... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
