What happens when you pass EPNs (nematodes) through a drone sprayer? Nothing at all, no loss in viability! Test run complete. Great afternoon with @systems_spray (Rob Pearson), @FreshTecBinks, @Nyamburakabura7 and Ian Pryce @HarperAdamsUni
Great to hear BBC Farming Todays coverage of OCDE event on "Drone Spraying of Pesticides" last week.

We had a great time in Jersey recently. We operated the heaviest Drones ever in Jersey, plus dropping articles (only water) for the first time, from a drone, in Jersey. A massive milestone๐ Work is now underway to spray Pesticides... #drone@BBCNews@BBCJersey@BBCFarmingToday
OK, maybe the middle of winter in Yorkshire isn't the best time to be looking for fresh brush and scrub to cut back but we had to find something. So we put the all electric robot mower from XAG to work tidying up round one of the fields.
Staying one step ahead of Storm Otto!
Got the new solar XAG RTK base station installed on the โCrows Nestโ before the big winds hit tomorrow๐.
Solar powered with battery back up gives 24/7/365 coverage.
Wind turbines in the background, the future of agriculture in Yorkshire!
The wait is almost over๐. Our container of the latest XAG P40 farm drones has arrived in Southampton.
Next week these incredible drones will be in the skies above Yorkshire before going out to work on farms around the country.
How WaterProof Are XAG Drones?
Hosing down your drone at the end of busy day on the farm, you need to be confident that it can take it.
XAG Drones with IPX7 protection have been tested under 1m of water for a full 30 minutes. Then tested to ensure everything works fine!
Extreme IPX7 #Drone Demonstration in Bolivia...
Celso Mircan from the #XAG team in Bolivia demonstrated the P100 spray drones by #flying in a tropical storm!
Not the best weather for #spraying but it certainly demonstrates their ability to cope with a spot of rain!
