Re-engineered cameras and rugged GPUs make up the latest leap forward as John Deere forges ahead to a fully autonomous production system by 2030.
The practice can be useful in some scenarios but not all. Farmers need to evaluate the potential impact on 2024 yield outcomes. Perhaps a bigger concern is how the practice impacts weed management, especially waterhemp.
A roundup of releases for farmers over the last couple of weeks.
Fresh off forming its new ag tech and autonomy joint venture, PTx Trimble, AGCO has put forth a retrofit first, mixed-fleet approach to precision ag technology. Will farmers buy it?
