John Deere Future Technology zone at Agritechnica

When John Deere finally show their hand for their vision of future farming they do it seriously well !!

A rather mind blowing video of how they see the various components coming together

Autonomous weed identification and spot spraying - would not look out if place in a terminator movie !

thisxid the tech that John Deere bought Blue River for

Here is how it works

How long before it’s available and common place in the countryside,5/10 years?

It’s getting closer. The machinery we have now will be the last of its type and should see us through.

there will still be need for full field spraying, fungicides or liquid fert.. but yes, this technology should bring a lot of improvement to weed control

There could be more than a touch of truth in the terminator movies,rise of the machines.its all on its way.

Don’t think so. Fertiliser application will become far more targeted. We will be able to grow multiple crops in the same field instead of monocultures. All these things will mean less disease. Sensors will detect disease outbreak and stop it before it spreads. The options are endless!

full field is what the small drones were tasked at and the spot sprayer aimed at individual weeds

they seem to have thought this through !

they also had this with a 200Kgs payload

Almost forgot ....... the “tractor”

See if it will grow crops on mars next is it?

Least it would be dry

 

[Scribus]

Are there actually any new ideas or is just a tarting up of stuff that's been around for years?

...bitch of a place to farm. Just ask Matt Damon

Thankfully some of us have minds that are not so light that they are easily blown.

He had a reasonable crop of spuds
