Arable farmer shows interest in drones

13,4% of arable farmers in the Netherlands have indicated that they are (very) interested in using drones in order to optimize their cultivation. This is apparent from AgriDirect's Arable Farm Scanner.

275 arable farmers were questioned during the study. Of these, 12,3% indicate that they are interested in drones to optimize cultivation. This means that almost 1 in 7 arable farmers shows an interest in the use of drones. In addition, 1,1% indicate that they are very interested in the use of drones.

The results are quite different when looking at company size. The companies with more than 100 hectares of land are most interested in the use of drones (25,9%). The companies that have between 10 and 20 hectares of land are the least interested (9,5%).
