This happened about 45 minutes SW of us last year....

This was on our local news last week. Pretty interesting. Drones being used for crop dusting small fields, corners, field edges, etc... places where planes have some difficulty reaching.

Michiana farmers seeing benefits of drone technology

Special drones were used Tuesday to spray crops on the Riffle Farms in Fulton County.

The Millennial Farmer just had a video about trying that drone spaying out. All the details you could need...

They can broadcast solids too, like grass seed and probably granular fertilizer.

This one was interesting also.

Edit, sorry didn't see that it was already posted.

Off topic, but I learned about crop dusting in the south.

It's when you pass gas (AKA flatulence) and walk by some people.

Never forget when a co worker started laughing when I started gagging by a smell.

In his heavy NC dialect, he just looked at me and informed me I've just been crop dusted. Got to admit, thought it was a funny phrase. Never heard of the phrase for that use up north.

It provides a certain level of personal accomplishment when you're at a refinery and crop dust as you walk through the job trailer, making everyone's H2S monitor go off.

Not that I've ever been guilty of doing that.

This is a neat video of Crop Dusting with a Stearman. Interesting that apparently the pilot is John Walton, the son of Sam Walton.
