Nate Douridas is the Farm Manager at The Ohio State University's Molly Caren Agricultural Center in London, Ohio.
Douridas said drone use allows farmers to rely on clear and specific data instead of forcing farmers to make informed guesses when replanting certain areas of a field or applying water, nutrients, etc.
"Especially with replanting. Right? That's a very hard decision for a lot of growers to make because we all want to have the picturesque, the most beautiful crop from end to end of the field that we can have. Sometimes it's an emotional decision to tear it up and replant or just walk away from it. With the technology we have now, we can buffer that emotion and we can make good, sound agronomic decisions," he said.
