DJI has released the Phantom 3 Standard, a new flying camera drone designed specifically for first-time pilots.

As frenzied interest and growing expectations for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in agriculture continues, farm equipment and precision dealers have launched efforts to capitalize on this emerging market, to varying degrees. Hundreds of farmers have purchased personal UAVs during the past several years, and many undoubtedly are making management decisions based on the information they generate from their flights.

Spending a day with a precision farming specialist for this regular feature is always an adventure. This experience took a Precision Farming Dealer editor to west central Minnesota and an eventful 10 hours with Matt Rohlik, Integrated Solutions Manager at Haug Implement.
