Mitchel Hoare is pretty busy these days, with not only a 500-hectare farm to run and shares in a native plant nursery, but a new agricultural drone venture.
He and fellow farmer Andrew Blackmore set up King Country Ag Drones about six months ago.
They saw a gap in the market, bought some "state of the art equipment", and "between the two of us, in our spare time, we're giving this a crack".
