Ag Research Spending Flattens and Ag Aviation & Drones
Thursday Apr 8th, 2021 From the Ag Information Network, I’m Bob Larson with your Agribusiness Update. Public spending for agricultural research has remained flat for the past decade, and a new report says that threatens the nation’s future agricultural productivity.
The study says there’s particular need for public research in crop breeding, crop protection, climate change, animal health, animal disease and foodborne illness.
Although private-sector research funding has increased, the report says that tends to focus on a relatively narrow set of topics. As the growing season draws near, in the midst of the pandemic, the National Agricultural Aviation Association is asking all Unmanned Aircraft System operators to be extra mindful of low-flying manned agricultural aircraft operations.
