@@BecksHybrids how many acres per hour were being covered by the drone?

[@BecksHybrids]

@@TyFulford Acres/hour will vary depending on a multitude of factors, however the speed was always the same. Our drone fungicide applications were made at 15mph which is within the range that most commercial drone pilots are applying fungicides. We hope this clears up any questions or concerns regarding the drone applications in our studies!
