  • Agricultural Innovation: How Drones Fulfilled One Agronomist’s Aviation Dream
    Jun 10 2024

    Welcome to another exciting episode of "Fly the Transition"!

    In this episode, we are joined by Cory Palm, an innovative agricultural drone spray pilot.

    Today, Cory uses drones to spray fields, study crops, and monitor livestock. With numerous programs and opportunities, drone aviation is revolutionizing agriculture.
