If a farmer doesn’t have reliable field data, clean boundaries (or a practical boundary strategy) and disciplined documentation, the most advanced technology in the world won’t deliver consistent results.
In Purdue's monthly survey, 400 farmers were asked, “Given your current labor and equipment, how much would artificial intelligence (AI) tools improve your operation?”
Every farmer wrestling with a Windows-based FMIS, an iPhone, John Deere Operations Center and a contractor on Trimble needing a prescription map, already understands ecosystem economics better than most Silicon Valley founders. They live the cost of incompatibility every day. Yet autonomy startups keep arriving with a ‘superior’ product and a new interface, wondering why adoption stalls. This article is about why ecosystem beats technological perfection. Every time.
"Autonomous systems are coming. That is not in question. The question is which platforms reach the ecosystem density needed to become the foundation, and which ones follow the Fast Hitch into the history books regardless of their technical merit," says Graham Gleed.
Governor Laura Kelly and The Kansas Department of Agriculture announced that Kelly Hills Unmanned Systems has been awarded $3 million to develop Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) technology for agricultural use.
Tony Kramer breaks down how the John Deere Operations Center and SeedStar give vegetable farms real-time planter data to boost planter performance and reduce downtime.
Plant Profiles, a new feature launching for all LaserWeeders, demonstrates how this AI translates into practical value for farmers. The feature enables farmers to quickly and easily tailor the foundational LPM to their unique crops, weeds, and field conditions.
“We understand the increasing pressures farmers are facing, driving them to find solutions that allow them more flexibility and the opportunity to do more with less,” said Josh Ladd. “That is why we have updated See & Spray to directly address those challenges by helping farmers apply exactly what’s needed, where it’s needed, and across more acres and more crops.”
As we put the finishing touches on the Precision Farming Dealer Summit program, I’m reminded of something Skip Klinefelter told me recently about the importance of an event like this during tough economic times in agriculture.
Topcon Agriculture, a global leader in precision farming technology, today announced the launch of its Value Line Steering solution, a new offering aimed at making precision farming accessible for small and medium-sized farming operations.
Here in the Technology Corner today, we’re talking about the PTx OutRun autonomous platform — a retrofit kit that enables autonomous grain cart, and now more recently, tillage operations.
