Yes F 16 3160 Precision Agriculture New item Did you use an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, known as a drone) to produce corn on the selected field in 2021? Reason for question: There growing interest in the use of drone technology in field crop production, but little comprehensive information on how drones are used. This question will provide data on the extent of use and the reasons for use, and will help to evaluate the costs and benefits of current drone technology in corn production. Why does the question need to be in ARMS? The survey encompasses a large and representative sample of producers. Because the survey also gathers information on production practices, yields, inputs, and finances, it is the only channel to evaluate the impact of drone adoption of farm productive and financial outcomes.
