NO-Nonsense Demo Day 2026 Recap: Big drones. Big opportunity.
On March 5th, 2026, Monarch Drone Solutions had the opportunity to host another big drone demo day—No-Nonsense Demo Day—bringing together pilots, growers, ag tech partners, and drone enthusiasts to witness FIVE of the largest commercial agricultural drones in the U.S. in action: the EAVision J150, CeresAir Black Betty Stacked, DJI T100, XAG P150 Max and the Vector HD580.
Our goal? To see how these next-generation autonomous spraying and mapping platforms perform side by side in real-world field conditions.
Special thank you to our partners Raptor Dynamic, Agri Spray Drones, Talos, and Dwight Niehoff for the awesome location!

Hosted by Monarch Drone Solutions, in partnership with MU Extension and Corteva Agriscience, this event focused on preparing Missouri agricultural drone operators for updated NRUP regulations effective January 1, 2025.
If your company has an individual with their commercial license, & "support" personnel who are also involved in mixing and applying the restricted-use pesticides with a drone in Missouri—this applies to you. NRUPs must work under direct supervision of a licensed applicator and follow all Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 107/137 regulations.
