Drone seeding gives P.E.I. farmers a head start on season
A growing number of P-E-I farmers are using agricultural drones to give them a head start on the season. Spring time is muddy on the Island, making it almost impossible for heavy trucks and tractors to get into fields. But the drone is adding a couple of extra weeks to get work done before planting. Nancy Russell and drone operator Aaron Adetuyi have the story.

"Conservationists have called for restrictions on #pet flea treatments after research found #songbird feathers widely contaminated with substances that can damage the birdsโ€™ brains & kill unborn chicks. Almost every feather sample tested from 5 common #species of UK garden #birds contained either permethrin, imidacloprid or fipronil - all insecticides that are banned for #agricultural use but still common in pet tick & flea treatments."

@Dr_Bombay okay,and how can I add a representation of my #agricultural work such that it can be also seen on the map of Africa?
@motherjones.com This is the best way to grow our fresh non toxic #plants which are organically grown.
And those chemicals are dangerous both to humans and the #environment .
The non organic #agricultural companies could be abolished or else we #farmers should abandon to purchase their products.

The #agricultural giant will make digital diagnostic, maintenance, and repair tools available to 3rd parties for 10yr. That is crucial, #farmers previously resorted to hacking their equipmentโ€™s software just to get it up and running again. John Deere signed a memorandum in 2023 that provided third parties with the technology to diagnose and repair, as long as its intellectual property was safeguarded.
