Agricultural Innovation: How Drones Fulfilled One Agronomist’s Aviation Dream

Welcome to another exciting episode of "Fly the Transition"! In this episode, we are joined by Cory Palm, an innovative agricultural drone spray pilot. Cory originally dreamed of becoming a crop duster pilot but instead pursued a career path in agriculture as an agronomist as well as work as a paramedic. After working as a medic and facing long hours, low pay, and disruptions to his family schedule, Cory sought a new direction. Attending seminars on drones in agriculture reignited a 20-year-old spark, leading him to the booming field of drone aviation. Today, Cory uses drones to spray fields, study crops, and monitor livestock. With numerous programs and opportunities, drone aviation is revolutionizing agriculture. Join us to hear Cory's inspiring journey and learn how drones are shaping the future of farming. Whether you're an aviation enthusiast or involved in agriculture, this episode offers valuable information on how drone technology is creating new opportunities and enhancing productivity in farming.
