This paper looks at the benefits of drones in agriculture, and their limitations, illustrating from examples how drones operate on farms. Different features of drones are discussed, specifically how they assist farmers in maximizing their harvest by detecting problems early, and managing the crops by using specific cameras to detect pests and water shortages. Two interview were done: one with a strong emphasis on drone camera technology - UVIRCO and the second - Aerobotics - to further illustrate the uses of agricultural drones. The article concludes by recommending that more farmers invest in drone technology to better their agricultural outputs.
