Clarkson's Farm had an episode recently about farm automation and he visited a high tech farm in the Netherlands.
This guy built a bunch of drone hardware and software to do precision pesticide and weed control, but laws in the Netherlands make flying drones, even just a few feet off the ground on your own property, illegal.
What did the farmer do? He filed the paperwork to have his entire farm designated as an airport! 🧠
