If you look up, you will find at least one Kewaunee County farm trying to get around what Mother Nature has been dealing the area in recent days. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, farmers across the state had nearly five days suitable for fieldwork last week, with the warm,  humid weather helping their crops get a boost. With the area getting a fair share of rain and crops still trying to grow, some farmers could play a waiting game when interseeding their crops or adding fertilizer to their fields. Heim’s Hillcrest Dairy has invested in drones to help with that, allowing them to hit certain spots while not causing further damage to their fields. After receiving his certification to fly the drones last year, Ben Heim from Heim’s Hillcrest Dairy says they have seen positive results.

According to the consulting firm McKinsey & Company, the agricultural use of drones could generate $85 billion to $115 billion in value worldwide by reducing costs and improving yields.
