The California Farm Bureau is at the forefront of ensuring farmers have access to precision technology. The recent signing of AB 1016 enables expedited training and licensing for drone use by pesticide applicators, authorizing the Department of Pesticide Regulations (DPR) to approve these programs.
Adopting precision agriculture technology is essential for California farmers to keep producing the nation's fresh fruits, nuts, and vegetables while minimizing water, fertilizer, and pesticide use.
