14 months ago 2 guys from Boston believed crop spraying needed some innovation. Neither were from a farm. They built an autonomous #drone sprayer that sprays about 80ac per hour. $7/ac. No wheel tracks. What are your thoughts? Do they have a live one here? #agtech

No single person can change the world, but if enough talented minds are put to enough discrete problems – if we share knowledge, and exchange ideas with one another – then seemingly incremental progress can gradually transform into great leaps. #science

Impressive. Multispectral sensors can record non-visible wavelengths, such as infrared radiation and ultraviolet light, as well as visible light, enabling them to identify nutrient deficiencies, pest damage, and water deficiency.

We are in the era of smart farming. Software-define #agriculture can affect everything in the industry from tracking farm vehicle usage to ensuring the right amount of fertilizer or water inputs are being used.
@faunasmart takes it a step further using #DNA data for precision 🧬
