I recently found out some great news that I thought I’d share with you. I was recently notified that I won a Maryland state grant through TEDCO for the Agriculture and Rural Rebuild (ARR) Challenge. The grant’s objective is to revitalize agriculture and rural areas. My proposal centered on developing the technology and techniques to bring drone weed control to our local growers. Although this may sound simple, it actually is technically challenging, requiring the use of artificial intelligence and accurate geolocations.

The press release from Gov Hogan’s office is here.

I would like to thank Willard Agri-Service, and specifically Mike Twinning, for partnering with me through this program. There agronomic expertise will greatly enhance to product we are able to bring to the local Maryland farmer.

I am very honored and humbled to have been picked, and look forward to serving my customers with this exciting technology.
