While it’s not what dealers want to hear, Quint Pottinger says, he plans on shifting to smaller equipment that can run autonomously 24/7 (or at least close to it) on his Kentucky farm.

Mizzou Engineering researchers have developed FieldVision, a new artificial intelligence (AI) framework that helps fleets of agricultural drones decide where to process image analysis tasks: on the drone itself, at a nearby edge computing server or in the cloud. 

Longtime no-tillers and strip-tillers use 40% less water than the local average with subsurface drip tape, autonomous irrigation machines & AI-driven sensors.

Craig Rupp says the investment from Leaps by Bayer validates the direction Sabanto is headed and adds credibility to its product, marking a shift from asking “if” autonomy will work in agriculture to asking “when” it will be widely available.
