This is going to sound strange, but I read an interesting article the other day about how farmers in Minnesota and North Dakota are learning about how to use unmanned aircraft systems (drones) in precision farming.
It's a fascinating idea, and the article - written by Mikkel Pates of the Forum News Service - interviews several local farmers to get their feelings about the new technology.
You can read the article here:

Are we getting a glimpse of the future of farming?
Take care,
