Show Notes
In this episode, I sit down with Alex McRae, founder of Alair Ag Drones and co-founder of Nature Shield Pest & Lawn, to explore how drone technology is revolutionizing modern agriculture. Raised in rural Idaho, Alex blends his love for farming and aviation to support sustainable, healthy land practices. From crop dusting with drones to navigating FAA certifications, he shares how innovation is helping small farms thrive.
But that’s not all, Alex also discusses his family’s homeschooling journey, how real-world experiences shape their education, and the value of bringing entrepreneurship to the kitchen table.
