When you need a tall perch

I was heading out to cut a field of alfalfa I saw this on my route. Why did I find this parked on the left side of the road?

Ha, yes, leave it to a tax man to be counting hay bales while looking out over fields of beans and corn!!!

Is that a dump truck with a person sitting on top parked in front of the white truck?

OK, I'll bite, what was it?

It is a drone crew spraying fields. The lift bucket is so the drone operator can keep a visual of the drone while spraying. The truck in front has the chemical and generators for charging the batteries and a place to store the drone between fields.

Well, my guess was it was a rainmaker trying to draw lightening. Your explanation makes more sense.

Sounds like it takes more people and effort than just using a plane

Big Potato farm near me has been using drones to spray potatoes this summer. They are not the little ones like you see at wally world.

Normally have to go to the airport to see the planes support crew

They have 2 trucks, one has 2 drones and the other has a big tank with the material to be sprayed.

Since there isn't any poles maybe it was the only way they could install a flock camera.

Parked on left so you could get around them without having to swerve into opposing traffic lane. Safety first.

Maybe the crown of the road is flatter or more solid on that side of the road?

You would think using a second drone to watch the first drone would work just as well.

What if he coming from the farm, he has to go around.

Utility work or farmer. Left side means they were heading back or avoiding traffic. Not unusual.
