Trimble Makes It A December to Remember

Trimble, the Sunnyvale, CA-based agriculture technology company, scored two victories in December, making it a month to remember.<p>

First, as reported in PR Newswire, Trimble acquired the privately held IRON Solutions, Inc. of Franklin, TN.<p>

Second, according to DTN/The Progressive Farmer, the company received an exemption from the Federal Aviation Administration, allowing it to fly its UX5 Aerial Imaging Solution (drone) for commercial purposes. The UX5 originated in Europe several years ago, but its use in the U.S. for commercial applications has been limited by the FAA. S
