I think this is very cool. A great application of how the drone industry can effect positive change.

Hi there, thank you for sharing. This is a really wonderful innovation. Cheers!

I wonder what the percentage of germination is.

Interesting question, I was wondering the same. Here in Australia they have been planting trees from the air for years, but they use a much more sophisticated tree parcel. It is a tapered projectile made from a biodegradable material that is quite sharp at the pointy end and supports the seedling very well. The are dropped from the air by conventional aircraft, but unlike seeds, these are juvenile trees, encased in nutrients and watered. They drive into the ground on impact so the tree is effectively 'planted'.

Very interesting. Thanks for posting.

What a great idea for elevating these large drones beyond the "Toy" category and able to do "real work" !

Yeah I thought so too. I think the whole using the swarm logic idea would be very cool to see in action...for something besides a light show.

Good find KennyB.

I have honestly very flown one that small...looks like a nano drone. My first drone was a hubspace/span...something like that about 3" across...also very hard to control...can't imagine trying to control one of those nanos.

Really cool video!

You're welcome mate!

Really cool share, KB.

I planted trees, one summer here, with our local Menonite Central Committee group.

It was a lot of fun, joking around, partying after work....


Cool video... thanks for sharing it...

I was motivated to learn more after your thread's creation. I came up with some U.S. and European firms doing similar things. Hit me back when you get more information. Thanks KB.

That sounds like an invitation...I have always wanted to see Canada...beautiful country.

Interesting thank you for sharing !

You are welcome. My pleasure

This year at CET, almost everyone and its brother had at least one agriculture drone on a show.
Overall, it has been a bit disappointing in drone niche as really nothing new and exciting popped out.

I will start planning my trip...will have to make sure I am familiar with the drone rules/laws up there first.

Never underestimate the farmers.... you get invited for a night or two and figure out you sleep on a mattress stuffed with cash.... some banknotes dated back to 1900's.

Well, BC is fine, for the rest, well, I guess I am too soft for that harsh climate.

Yeah, and the farmers daughter, we’ve all heard tell about...

I’d be doing some stuffing, of my own. If I found thee Golden mattress...
