The Future of Drones in American Agriculture
The potential of XAG’s agricultural drones in the US market was a key topic of discussion. The United States, as a leading grain producer, has extensive arable land of 1.6 billion hectares, crucial for food crops such as corn, soybeans, and wheat. However, farmers are increasingly confronted with challenges related to an aging rural workforce, resource scarcity, and climate change. The US Department of Agriculture reports that the average age of farmers in 2023 is over 57, with about 40% of farmland managed by those over 65.
