This image shows the Ferguson family orchard which has a very distinct row and column pattern. The orchards are very neatly designed in this pattern with trellises in case they need to integrate a netting system in the future to protect the crops from hailstorms that could ruin and damage their product. They use these drone images to monitor the orchards’ conditions because of the stronger and more random weather patterns in Wisconsin. Farmers are able to adjust their practices not only on a whole field/ orchard but on a specific row or tree because of the information provided by the drone images.
