> Wouldn't this compete with piloted crop-dusting aircraft, not tractors?
Yes, and given that flying crop dusters is pretty dangerous (old, shoddily maintained aircraft and "runways", low altitudes over rough terrain) and exposes the fields to lead from the fuel, it's high time to get rid of that.
A drone with an automated recharger+resupply base can operate entirely on its own.
