WHO TV Agribusiness Report: Future of spraying in farm fields involves drones
April 27, 2019
An Iowa company is pioneering the next level of agricultural tech to use drones in farm fields.
Michael Ott, the CEO of Rantizo, says, “We think of it like a Roomba for a field. Where it goes out and applies just where it needs to go. That’s our long term vision.”
Rantizo wants to use drones for a host of agricultural spraying needs and soon the company will be the first in Iowa to be able to.
Founded last year, Rantizo has nearly gotten FAA approval for agriculture drones. Now the company is filing for patents on their products.
