There is no substitute for seeing agricultural drone technology operate in a real field. From August 24–26, the Ag Drones and AgTek360 team travelled across Alberta to give growers, agronomists and agricultural professionals a closer look at how today’s field technology can support timely, precise and efficient crop applications.
The six-stop tour visited Vulcan, Red Deer, the Edmonton/Stony Plain area, Westlock, Vegreville and Daysland. At each demonstration, attendees had the opportunity to see the technology in action, ask practical questions and talk with our team about where agricultural drones may fit within their own operations.
We are grateful to everyone who took time during a busy growing season to attend—and to the hosts and team members who helped make the Alberta demonstrations possible.
Two Innovative Technologies, One Live Demonstration
The Alberta events brought together two technologies that support different parts of a precision agronomy program: EAVISION agricultural spray-drone technology with an automated loading workflow, and the Leaftech Scanner for in-field plant-tissue information.
Attendees could see how an agricultural drone is planned, loaded and operated in field conditions, while also learning how crop information can help guide better-informed agronomic decisions. The goal was not simply to show a piece of equipment. It was to demonstrate how field intelligence, agronomy and precision application can work together.
During the conversations in the field, growers were especially interested in how drone application may help when timing is tight, fields are wet, terrain is difficult to access or wheel-track crop damage is a concern. The demonstrations also created an opportunity to discuss training, workflow, support and the importance of matching the application method to the crop, product label and field conditions.
Photo Highlights From Vulcan
Vulcan was the first stop on the Alberta tour and gave attendees a hands-on look at the EAVISION system in a Southern Alberta field setting. Growers were able to watch the operating sequence, see the equipment up close and ask questions about application planning, loading, field access and day-to-day use.
The value of a live demonstration is that it moves the conversation beyond specifications. Attendees can see the scale of the equipment, hear the system operating and better understand the people, planning and field logistics behind a successful application.
Photo Highlights From Westlock
The tour continued north to Westlock, where another group of growers joined the Ag Drones team in the field. Like the Vulcan event, the Westlock demonstration made room for both the technology demonstration and the practical questions that matter when evaluating a new application tool.
Katelyn Milller, AgTek360 and Soil Synergy sales rep in the Westlock area shared, “It’s exciting to see innovative technology like this being demonstrated right here in our local fields and bringing producers together to experience it firsthand. Being at the forefront of new technology—and having the opportunity to deliver these solutions to producers across the Prairies—is something we’re incredibly proud to be part of.”
These conversations are an important part of every demonstration. Farm size, cropping system, terrain, application needs, labour and service expectations all influence whether a spray drone is the right fit—and which platform best suits the operation.
Why Real-World Demonstrations Matter
Agricultural drones are attracting attention across Western Canada, but purchasing decisions should be based on more than a video or published capacity figure. A live field event helps growers evaluate the complete operating system: transportation, setup, mission planning, calibration, mixing and loading, battery management, field productivity, maintenance, training and technical support.
It also allows growers to see where aerial application may add flexibility alongside existing equipment. Drones can provide access without driving through the crop, making them worth considering for wet fields, difficult terrain, targeted work and narrow application windows. The right fit depends on the intended use, field conditions, current product labels and applicable regulations.
Thank You, Alberta
Thank you to everyone who attended one of our Alberta demonstrations, asked questions, shared field experience or helped spread the word. Your interest and feedback help us plan stronger demonstrations and provide more useful information to growers considering agricultural drone technology.
If you missed the Alberta tour, this will not be your last opportunity. We plan to host additional Alberta demonstrations in the future, and our team is preparing the next stops in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
Next Stops: Manitoba and Saskatchewan
We are currently planning Manitoba demonstrations for September 22–23, 2026, followed by Saskatchewan demonstrations on September 24–25, 2026.
Locations and times will be shared as details are confirmed. Follow Ag Drones on social media or contact our team to receive the latest demonstration information and find the event closest to you.
