This time of year is always fascinating to me from a technology standpoint, because harvest for me is literally a stroll down memory lane. I have been in Precision Ag for 20 years.
GPS and guidance systems might be technology taken for granted in some precision farming circles, given they were some of the earliest innovations adopted on farms. But the success of these systems is still rooted in signal reliability. Acquiring and maintaining a connection can be a challenge, even as cellular networks have become increasingly reliable.
Guidance systems use global positioning system (GPS) coordinates to automatically steer farm equipment like combines, tractors, and self-propelled sprayers. Guidance systems help reduce operator fatigue and pinpoint precise field locations, within a few inches.
Like many consumers, I’ve taken to doing most of my holiday shopping online. It’s more efficient than wandering the local mall waiting for commercial inspiration to strike and usually more economical.
AGCO's next generation of guidance offers customers seamless integration and a wider selection of which receiver they employ to process positioning information sent from the global navigation satellite system (GNSS).
The adoption of the published ISO standard will further harmonize national and international standardization, a goal that facilitates manufacturing, safety advancements and product marketing worldwide.
Spending quite a bit of time on the road the last few years, I only recently thought about how reliant I’ve become on electronic navigation to plot my course.
Intuicom Inc., a provider of wireless precision guidance solutions for the agriculture market, is now offering a proprietary cellular amplifier to complement their line of RTK Bridge products.
I tagged along with the precision crew at John Deere dealer Riesterer and Schnell in eastern Wisconsin last week. Among the several takeaways from the visit, they told me there’s one precision tool in particular that’s really paying off for farmers right now.
