Cutting-edge drone technology will once again take center stage at the third annual Nebraska Ag and Spray Drone Conference, Aug. 21–22 at the Lifelong Learning Center at Northeast Community College in Norfolk. Organized by Nebraska Extension in collaboration with Northeast Community College, this two-day event wouldn’t be possible without the generous support and partnership of several key industry sponsors.
Nebraska Extension Applauds Private Sector Involvement
According to Dirk Charlson, Nebraska Extension statewide extension educator, the level of private sector engagement at this year’s conference reflects their commitment to growing the industry.
“We are incredibly grateful to our sponsors, who continue to step up in support of agricultural innovation,” Charlson said. “Their contributions not only make this event possible, they signal just how important drone technology has become to the future of farming in Nebraska and beyond.”

- Lunch provided both days by two Nebraska drone businesses: Volitant Drone Technology Solutions and Total Drone Solutions.
- Refreshments throughout the conference courtesy of Spraytec Fertilizer and Pix4D Agriculture.
