Using advanced agricultural drone technology, we’re helping local farmers transform underutilised land into productive assets through ‘Farm Resets’.
In Maryborough, Queensland, we’re proud to be working alongside Extended Vision Drone Services on a crucial project aimed at giving fallow land a new lease on life. Our focus is on executing a ‘Farm Reset’—an innovative approach to property management that prepares farmland for a fresh crop cycle. Using advanced agricultural drone technology, we’re helping local farmers transform underutilised land into productive assets.
This farm reset is particularly significant because, without drones, this land would likely have remained unusable due to logistical challenges posed by the surrounding environment. With buildings, powerlines, and other obstacles limiting the use of traditional aerial spraying methods like helicopters, drones have stepped in as the perfect solution.
A farm reset is a comprehensive process designed to clear fallow land and prepare it for planting. Using herbicides such as Roundup and other sprays, weeds, tall grass, and other unwanted vegetation are eliminated, creating a clean slate for the next crop. This process not only improves soil health but also enhances the overall productivity and sustainability of the farm.
By removing vegetation that competes for sunlight, water, and nutrients, farmers can optimise the conditions for their next crop to thrive. Additionally, a farm reset disrupts the habitats of pests, reducing their impact on future harvests and minimising the need for excessive chemical interventions down the line.
Traditionally, helicopters have been used for large-scale aerial spraying. However, this method has limitations when it comes to areas with obstacles like buildings, powerlines, and uneven terrain. In this Maryborough project, such challenges made it impractical for helicopters to operate safely or effectively. This is where drones have revolutionised agricultural practices.
This project in Maryborough is just one example of how our team is working to support farmers across Queensland. From Gympie to Wide Bay, Sunshine Coast, and beyond, we’re providing tailored property management solutions that address the unique challenges of Australian agriculture. Whether it’s revitalising fallow land, improving pastures, or managing pests, our services are designed to save time, reduce costs, and promote sustainability.
As technology continues to evolve, drones are becoming an indispensable tool for Australian farmers. They’re not only solving logistical challenges, such as those posed by powerlines and buildings, but they’re also enabling a level of precision and efficiency that was previously unattainable. This Maryborough farm reset is a testament to how innovation can unlock the potential of underutilised land, making it productive and profitable once again.
At MAD, we’re proud to work alongside Extended Vision Drone Services to bring cutting-edge agricultural solutions to regional Queensland. By combining our expertise with their advanced drone technology, we’re helping farmers overcome challenges, improve their operations, and achieve better outcomes.
If you’re looking to revitalise your property, reduce environmental risks, and save both time and money, a farm reset could be the perfect solution. Whether you’re dealing with fallow land, weeds, or pests, our team has the tools and expertise to help.
