Topping the list this month were two “From the Virtual Terminal” items, one on the new-to-North America diesel-electric farm tractor that will be available for sale in the last quarter of 2018 and another on the news of the potential mega-merger between Bayer and Monsanto and how that is heightening the debate over how farm data is collected and manipulated by companies.
Autonomy was a popular topic this month, with Editor Jack Zemlicka covering the topic in the Virtual Terminal, a video detailing Case IH's next steps with autonomy and the latest Precision Farming Dealer podcast expounding on perception versus reality of autonomy in ag.
