🌾 Ground rig math vs. drone math ✈️
Here’s a simple look at why wheel tracks matter in wheat:
Ground rig
28" of total tire track ÷ 120' boom width = 1.94% of the crop trampled
On 100 bushel wheat:
100 bu/ac × 1.94% = 1.94 bushels lost per acre
Using about $5.98/bu SPF wheat at St. Louis:
1.94 bu × $5.98 = $11.60 per acre lost
Drone application
✅ 0 wheel tracks
✅ 0 trampled wheat
✅ 0 bushels lost to tire damage
That’s the difference between driving through your crop and flying over it.
