Hi-tech crop dusters

Whats weird is I was just thinking yesterday about drone based crop dusters and can't for the life of me figure out why they don't have fuel powered ones that could carry a lot more herbicide. Seems like they could save a lot of weight getting rid of all the infrastructure required for maintaining the human control unit.

I was also wondering about the size of the tank, at my inlaws, they load one cubic meter tanks to spray their fields and depending on the acres they have to reload several times. Probably this is just the beginning and they will develop more powerful ones in the future.
