We travel to Middle Neck Farms, where farmer Sam Parker has hired MADTECH Drones to come survey his fields. This startup, run by Tom and Zach Marnane, helps farmers analyse crop health through aerial photography. Through infrared photos, they can tell if plants need more or less water or fertilizer, and see possible problems before the human eye can tell. This cutting edge technology helps farmers be more efficient and cost effective.
