The in-demand training is helping primary producers reap the benefits of new and emerging technologies, and the free courses are being funded by the NSW Government under its AgSkilled 2.0 program.
This practical, hands-on training explores the application of drones to a range of agricultural pursuits. Every farmer who participates will know how a drone can benefit their farm planning and day-to-day practices.
The course will give farmers the confidence and technical skills to operate a drone safely and legally, and ultimately, improve how they do business.
More than 580 people have taken up $878,000 worth of free training, which comprises an online training session followed by a one-day on-farm workshop.
