The new EU drone regulations came into effect on 1 January 2021.
Technology on tillage farms continues to move at a rapid pace. Over the course of a decade, GPS and precision agricultural technologies have become mainstream in many tillage regions and this trend will likely continue over the coming decade.
This has been greatly helped by schemes such as the Tillage Capital Investment Scheme (TCIS).
As technology develops, so too do the rules which governs its use. Drones are the prime example of this.
The use of drones on farm as a management tool is still limited. However, the number of farmers who use drones to inspect crops using multispectral sensors or HD images continues to rise.

Restrictions could be eased on the use of drones in the Dublin area, under new proposals from the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA).
It has launched a public consultation on the proposed changes, which would apply to the Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) geographical zone for the Dublin area - the country s busiest air traffic space.
As part of the changes, restrictions could be eased while maintaining protection for airports, air corridors and sensitive State infrastructure - such as hospitals and prisons.
Drones in the Dublin area are currently restricted to a height of 15m (50ft).
The changes would introduce graduated limits, depending on a location, of up to a maximum of 100 metres without needing special permission from the IAA.

The aviation industry will not recover if Covid-19 quarantine and travel restrictions remain in place causing significant job losses and irreparable harm to the Irish economy, a new report has claimed.
The Aviation Restart Plan was carried out by the industry members of a subgroup of the National Civil Aviation Development Forum.
The report also claims the path for safe international travel is through adherence to existing air travel and appropriate screening protocols that do not increase the risk to Ireland. A key deliverable is therefore for Government to identify and confirm the metrics that will enable the removal of this ban and the restoration of international travel for those markets which meet the specified metrics, the study states.
