Designed by farmers for farmers with the support of NSW Farmers and delivered by highly experienced drone operator and trainer Ben Watts, this course will teach you how to use drones to collect farm data to help you make informed decisions such as refined fertiliser, sowing, crop and weed management plans, as well as monitoring and maximising the efficiency of farm water systems.
Operating a drone is like any other precision control system - with proper planning, set up and confidence to operate safely, it can provide real on-farm benefits.
The course aims to develop knowledge and skills in:
- Safe and efficient operation of drones in an agricultural context
- Australian laws related to the use of Remote Pilot Aircraft’s (RPA) for private use
- Collecting and processing data for use in creating a crop planting map or precision fertiliser program.
