A70 Agricultural Drone
OFCAF-Ready Cover Crop Seeding Solution
Take advantage of Canada’s On-Farm Climate Action Fund (OFCAF) with the A70 agricultural drone—engineered to support efficient and scalable cover crop seeding.
Designed with precision broadcast capabilities, the A70 enables farmers to establish cover crops quickly, even in challenging field conditions such as wet soils, post-harvest residue, or uneven terrain. By improving access and reducing reliance on traditional equipment, the A70 helps lower operational costs while supporting sustainable farming practices.
When used for eligible Beneficial Management Practices (BMPs), such as cover cropping, the A70 may qualify for OFCAF cost-share funding—helping offset your investment while enhancing soil health, reducing erosion, and improving long-term productivity.
