Drones and field imaging tech are changing how agronomy gets done — from scouting and seeding to plant breeding research.
Join The Agronomists Monday at 8 PM E as @RealLoudLyndsey talks with @rmccon16 of @uofg & @ProfAgronomy of @usask about where this technology fits on the farm and in the field. #cdnag
