From cutting-edge technology to crops grown right here in the Southeast, this week’s edition of Farm Monitor is packed with the stories shaping agriculture today.
Spray drones are offering farmers new levels of precision—but they don’t come without challenges. We take a look at how University of Georgia researchers are working to simplify the process and help producers put this technology to work.
Plus, growing grapes in Georgia isn’t always easy. An Extension researcher is helping tackle the challenges facing the state’s grape industry and working toward a more sustainable future.
And later, Ranger Nick takes us inside a greenhouse to talk cherry tomatoes—breaking down water use, nutrient management, and what it really takes to grow a tomato that tastes great.
All that and more starts right now on Farm Monitor.
