In Kikai Town, Kagoshima Prefecture, an increasing number of farmers are considering introducing drones (unmanned aerial vehicles) for agriculture. The town will also actively support farmers to save labor and improve efficiency, such as using it for pest control. The town has been subsidizing 100,000 yen to certified farmers who have taken drone training since 2020. Five farmers have taken the course since the beginning of 2009. On the 3rd, there was a drone practical training at the former second junior high school of Kamikatetsu. Mr. Yamato Oda (40) and his wife, Mr. Haruka (26), who started farming after making a U-turn, have received prior training in the pesticide control law related to pesticide spraying and the aviation law course for flying drones. After the practical training on that day, I got a qualification as an agricultural drone operator. Haruka became the first female passer in the town. Mr. Yamato said, "I think that streamlining work will help protect the island's agriculture," and Mr. Haruka said, "I saw her parents working and wanted to introduce new methods to help their families." Said each. Mr. Eitakeumi, who is in charge of the sugar industry in the town's agricultural promotion section, said, "Farmers are aging and pest control work with hoses is being avoided. I hope that drones will improve work efficiency and productivity. I'm doing it. "
