Deere & Co. has made its first investment in drones with the acquisition of Sentera, a remote imagery provider that can connect to the machines used on the farm. Drones equipped with Sentera’s technology can capture high-resolution images that allow farmers to survey crops and create maps where weeds are located, Deere said in a statement Friday. Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
