yeah nah, drones are just another gimmick for those big corporate farms. my uncle's been doing just fine with his dog and a ute for decades.
get stuffed mate, my cousin's using one and it's already paid for itself. you probably still use a horse and cart.
honey bee drones are slackers, but these ones gonna put farm workers out of a job? typical tech bro solution looking for a problem 🙄
lol imagine thinking a robot can replace a farmer's intuition. but sure, let's give drones the farm while we're at it 😂
as someone who works on a farm, I can see how these things would save us hours checking fences and water troughs. bring 'em on!
good on ya, Hana. gotta move with the times, my nephew loves flying his drone over the sheep. keeps the kids interested in farming.

sounds like a load of crap, drones don't understand the land like a real farmer does. what happens when the battery dies and you've lost $10k tech in a paddock?
I dunno, I use one for my small block and it's mint for checking where the sheep are. not all of us can afford a heli.
ffs another taxpayer funded trial for something that'll be obsolete in 2 years. spend the money on actual rural infrastructure instead.
lol okay boomer, keep fighting the future. I'd rather have a drone than a broken quad bike any day.
