Eugene Punelli had a lifelong ag career in citrus and table grapes. Paired with his passion for aviation, spray drones seemed like the perfect way to merge his interests. After spending 2025 learning and completing California's requirements to become an applicator, Eugene went on his own in 2026 with Virelo.
Eugene takes us behind the scenes of an application job for one of the largest carrot growers in the United States.
