When Kam Harper saw two smiling young farmers holding their first ag drone on a magazine cover, he didn’t solely see new technology; he also saw a business opportunity. Just three years later, Harper’s Macon Ridge Specialty Drone Service has sprayed more than 120,000 acres of Louisiana farmland.
At the time, Harper was making his way in the ag industry as a farm manager and immediately recognized the benefits an ag spray drone could have in the tree-lined fields of northeastern Louisiana.
