[Technology Corner] Farmwave's Autonomous Harvest Loss Technology Pays off for Farmers
Farmwave founder and CEO Craig Ganssle says there’s been a lot of “over-promise and under-deliver” in ag technology. But that hasn’t been the case with his company’s autonomous harvest loss technology, and he has the results to prove it. The multi-camera system counts grain loss in real time and customers who use it are seeing an increase of 3-8 bushels per acre in corn and soybeans.

Reducing Yield Loss with Farmwave
Founder and CEO Craig Ganssle illustrates how Farmwave uses autonomy alongside a multi-camera system to count grain loss in realtime. Front and back mounted cameras continually register and document individual kernels that fail to be harvested, which the system will extrapolate to determine the percentage loss per bushel in real time. With this information farmers can make adjustments to manage loss wherein they can immediately see the results of the changes and prevent or reduce the yield loss.
