Charles Hadacek details the unique benefits of using a “workplace on wheels” — a cargo trailer turned mobile workspace with all the tools a precision specialist would need on the road.
However promising new precision tools, like Pablo Sobron’s laser sensor or geospatial data from drones or satellites, are, it’ll likely take years for them to be adopted on thousands, let alone millions of farming acres.
“This field day gives them a chance to see larger equipment, as well as drones, sensors and other types of electronic equipment being used,” said Kendall Kirk, director of the Clemson University Center for Agricultural Technology. “They’ve learned about these things in class, and this field day gives them a chance to see them in action.”
Precision farming revenue numbers reached new heights for some dealers in 2022 despite an overall decline in growth, and the outlook for 2023 remains mostly positive according to the 10th annual Precision Farming Dealer benchmark study.
There was plenty of technology on display at the World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wis., a few weeks ago. Farm Equipment editor Mike Lessiter caught up with Monarch Tractor’s John Issacson and got his take on the top 5 applications in autonomy right now.
