Hill County holds multiple records. Hill County has the largest county owned park, Beaver Creek Park, and now Hill County has the largest drone program in the state of Montana according to Hill County drone Program administrator Josh Miller.
Josh Miller also believes that drone programs are a nationwide trend and may soon be more common.
“Definitely, you take areas like Florida, their drone programs are widespread. They use it for mosquito control like crazy down there. Even Idaho has programs in place.”-Josh Miller
He believes the main thing discouraging people from starting drone programs is the complex regulation.
“One thing that discourages people is the regulation. It’s constantly changing, it’s something that we got to be completely aware of and up to date, keeping the drones maintained and flight worthy, it’s a lot of work. So, there is a lot of work going into it, but it’s well worth it.”– Josh Milller
