The NFF strongly supports a system for remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) – commonly referred to as drones that allows farmers to increase productivity and efficiencies on farm while maximising safety. The NFF welcomes a regulatory system of RPAS that encourages the uptake of drones in everyday farming while, at the same time, ensuring that all staff working on farm are safe, including those using light aircraft for mustering, spraying, or other purposes.
