Ryan Barrett said: "It maps the soil through a combination of the electroconductivity, as well as other remote sensing methods,"

CBC Monday, October 18, 2021 11:13:00 AM CEST

Ryan Barrett said: "The reason to do this mapping is then we can manage that field in a site-specific way," "Rather than the same fertilizer rate over the whole field, or the same tillage over the whole field, or the same seed spacing over the whole field, we can manage that variably within the field"

Ryan Barrett said: "Normally you would space potatoes at 15 inches between plants, but in the green areas of a field, you may say, OK that's the best area of the field, we can put more plants in that area," "We can tighten that spacing up, and maybe we could go to 13 inches"

Ryan Barrett said: "The red areas, with sandier soil, or it doesn't have as many nutrients, we need to space those out a little bit, and give those plants a little bit more room to grow, a little bit more access to nutrients," "The goal is is that we would increase the productivity of the whole field by doing this sort of site-specific management"

CBC Monday, October 18, 2021 11:13:00 AM CEST

Ryan Barrett said: "Soil compaction is a challenge in almost all agricultural systems where traffic on the soil, and tillage, can over time cause the layers of the soil to become a little bit more compacted," "So we're trying to detect whether a field is compacted, and then also the depth of that compaction"

Associate Professor explains: "As with tractors and combine harvesters, robots offer significant economies of scale. However, as the rules stand, only large farms would be able to introduce these technologies in the years to come as monitoring would be prohibitively expensive. In order for small and medium-sized farms to benefit from robots, a farmer must be able to remotely monitor several robots. This could be from their office, while tending to administrative tasks,"

Marcus Pedersen says: "Since robots must, in principle, be able to operate both day and night, on a minimal amount of energy, they're often designed to be smaller and more lightweight, and thereby run slower than tractors, for example. So, if an accident does happen, they do less damage. They are equipped with sensors and cameras that detect obstacles on the roadway. These stop them before running into anything and possibly send a message to the operator should anything go wrong,"

phys Thursday, October 14, 2021 5:56:00 PM CEST

Marcus Pedersen explains: "It is widely recognized in agriculture that heavy machinery compacts soil and prevents, among other things, plant roots from penetrating soil, which can lower yields. Robots are far gentler on soil,"

Benjamin Hübner explains: "In the future, sensors will not only monitor tyre pressure and temperature, but also detect the condition of the ground beneath the tyre. By monitoring the deformation of the tire, the sensor will also be able to detect the tire load,"

Benjamin Hübner concludes: "This will further increase operational efficiencies, reduce compaction and help farmers to increase yields and improve soil health,"

Emily Carlson : “We can seamlessly use that data to map out fields ahead of time, indicating the missions for the drone to Fly & Apply® along with areas to avoid where the crop is damaged due to high winds, hungry deer, or other issues. By leveraging that, our application services contractors Fly & Apply fungicide where it will be most effective, delivering better results to their customers”

Ryan Gibbs : “I’ve got an 80-acre field, but I don’t want to spray the outside rows or near the creek or by the timber where the deer eat the corn. Why spray those areas when I’m getting no use out of it? For me, I can take the drone out there and just map the field that needs to be sprayed, and I’ll only spray about 65 acres”

Emily Carlson : “Admittedly drone technology is still relatively new in agriculture, but we hear over and over ‘it’s the future of ag’. I beg to differ and say that drones are the present of ag if for no other reason than Rantizo’s network of over 50 contractors (and growing) across the country providing services to their farmer customers today”
