You can learn a great deal about an agricultural drone from specifications and videos, but seeing one operate in a real field is different. A live demonstration shows how the complete system comes together—from setup and mission planning to spraying, landing, loading and relaunch.
Ag Drones demonstrations give growers, custom applicators, agronomists and agricultural professionals a practical look at EAVISION technology. In approximately 75 minutes, you can see the equipment up close, watch it perform and ask how a spray drone may fit your operation.

What Will You See at the Demonstration?
The event begins with a brief introduction to Ag Drones and AgTek360 and a walk-through of the EAVISION J150. We discuss its liquid application and granular spreading capabilities, terrain following, autonomous operation, safety considerations and the practical realities of adding drone technology to an agricultural operation.
You will then see the J150 complete two different flight workflows:
- Ground takeoff and spraying: pre-flight checks, spray parameters, autonomous mission planning and real-time adjustments
- Dock workflow: takeoff, RTK precision landing—or manual landing if RTK is unavailable—battery exchange, automated refill and relaunch
The team will also explain granular capacity, calibration, disk speed, gate control and spread pattern. Together, these demonstrations provide a much clearer picture of the complete field workflow than specifications alone.
Can Attendees Fly the Drone?
Certified RPAS pilots may have an opportunity to experience manual flight under the direction of the demonstration team. Participation is not guaranteed and depends on certification, safety requirements, weather, site conditions and the direction of the Ag Drones team. If you are interested, bring proof of your current RPAS pilot certification.

Potential manual-flight opportunity for certified pilots, subject to qualifications and conditions.
1:00-1:15 | Final Q&A and next steps
Discuss applications, training, support, purchase options and how drone technology may fit your operation.
Bring Your Questions
Question periods are built into the agenda, and the team welcomes practical questions throughout the event. Consider asking about field size and layout, wet or difficult terrain, timing, transportation, battery and loading workflow, training, service, custom application opportunities or applicable operating requirements.
What Should You Bring?
- Clothing and footwear suitable for field and weather conditions
- Questions about your farm or application operation
- Proof of certification if you are an RPAS pilot interested in the potential flight opportunity
Where the Drone Fits in the Agronomic Process
A drone is not a replacement for every conventional application method. It is another tool that may add flexibility when fields are wet, terrain is difficult, timing is critical or avoiding wheel-track crop damage is important. At Ag Drones and AgTek360, application is one part of a continuous precision-agronomy process:
ANALYZE > RECOMMEND > APPLY > MEASURE > OPTIMIZE
The demonstration focuses on the Apply stage while showing how field information, agronomic recommendations and follow-up measurement support better decisions across the full cycle.
Important: Agricultural drone operations and applications must follow all applicable requirements. Before applying any pesticide or crop-protection product by drone, confirm that the current label permits RPAS application and follow all label directions.
See an Agricultural Drone in Action
The best way to decide whether an agricultural drone belongs in your operation is to see the complete workflow in the field and speak directly with an experienced team.
Ag Drones is planning Manitoba demonstrations for September 22-23, 2026, followed by Saskatchewan demonstrations on September 24-25, 2026. Locations and times will be shared as they are confirmed.
