Crows Damaging a Pistachio Orchard -Vortex Ring Accelerator Bird Defense Trial
The first week of September we began initial trials on Vortex Ring Accelerator (VRAD) technologies, on a 300 acre pistachio orchard near Bakersfield, California. The terrain at this location is quite hilly so visibility issues were somewhat limited. We were primarily tasked with keeping infesting flocks of crows from damaging the pistachio crop.
