Flying High: Utilizing Drones on Your Farm - March 3

(Updated: Feb. 18, 2026, 7:10 a.m.)

Join us on March 3rd as we explore how UAVs are transforming modern agriculture—from a once “high-tech hobby” into essential farm equipment. Drones are highly versatile tools, capable of applying herbicides for targeted weed control, spreading seed across pastures, and much more. Participants will also learn what it takes to become a licensed UAV operator. 3 P credits for pesticide applicators will be earned.
