The Future of Farming....Won't need Tractor Operators etc.

   / The Future of Farming....Won't need Tractor Operators etc. #21  
I was talking to a farmer the other day and he was explaining how sophisticated the gps systems are already.

If you have a triangular field and plant a row along the angled side, when you start planting the straight rows and meet the angled row, it will turn off the planter boxes one at a time so you don't overlap planting.

They also take soil samples at different points in the field and log them by gps, then when the sprayer comes it will automatically adjust the spraying patterns at different points in the field.

Many of you probably already knew this, but I was impressed. I thought the gps just steered the tractor.

I was reading somewhere about a sprayer system that could detect if a given plant needed more or less fertilizer and the machine could apply the amount needed. Pretty amazing technology to be able to see and sense each plant, make a decision and the apply the correct amount all while moving at pretty decent speed. Magic. :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Later,
Dan
