There aren't many individuals who could say that "they were there" when remote imagery for agriculture was in its infancy back in the early 1970s. One who can is John Ahlrichs, who did his Masters thesis on remote imagery...

The remote control will make it simpler to test nozzles from the cab of the sprayer. Using simple push button controls, the operator can select out individual sections to test or "scroll" through the boom sections in sequence using...

"With the ramp-up in grain prices over the past couple of years, farmers have had more money to invest in upgrading their operations," notes Harold Reetz, director of external support, Foundation For Agronomic Research — and long-time precision champion....

The two companies have collaborated to produce a GPS steering system in a custom-designed kit that provides a factory-installed look for MacDon-built machines. The new system takes full advantage of AutoFarm technology in hands-free GPS steering. "This is the first...

Engineered with a rugged, moisture-resistant design, the EDGE display features an enhanced operator experience with an easy-to-use interface and 6.5-inch color touchscreen. The EDGE display supports Ag Leader's AutoSwath feature, allowing growers to increase operation efficiency by automatically turning applicators...

The unit features simple on-screen setup and operation plus automatic coverage mapping. It is lightweight and portable, making it simple to move from vehicle to vehicle. It also incorporates G3 technology, allowing users to receive signals from all available...

I received a notice from manufacturer Hemisphere GPS last week about an award they received. Generally, these sorts of releases come and go without a lot of fanfare, but something about this one caught my eye. The company received...

Variable rate application capitalizes on Envizio Pro's enhanced prescription map capabilities to get more out of the field, and do it with less waste and a smaller chemical footprint. Importing and retrieving prescription maps is fast and simple and...

For several years, high-technology advocates in agriculture have been predicting the development of more and more robotics for the farm field. The desire to automate labor intensive processes and improve the practice of farming through the use of robotic...

Valley Irrigation recently introduced the industry's first line of GPS Ready irrigation control panels. The GPS Ready PRO2 Pivot Control Panel and GPS Ready AutoPilot Linear Control Panel currently are available from Valley dealers. The GPS Ready Select2 Pivot...

Eclipse also now utilizes an expanded number of standard real-time kinematic (RTK) message formats, such as RTCM v3, CMR, and CMR+, making the Eclipse receiver compatible with CORS (Continuously Operating Reference Stations) and other RTK base station networks. The...

"In AGCO's AUTO-GUIDE2 we developed the world's first integrated multi-constellation capable (GPS, GLONASS and Galileo) integrated antenna, receiver, and guidance control," said Ivan Di Federico, senior vice president of worldwide engineering for TPS. Bill Welscher, general manager of TSD,...

Ron Storms was a prominent committee chairman and member of numerous industry organizations including RAPID and TFI. He had a distinguished career at CF Industries starting in 1966. Ending his career as an eCommerce Manager, Ron was responsible for...

Pierce, currently serving as the director of Washington State University's Center for Precision Agricultural Systems and as a professor in the crop and soil sciences and biological systems engineering departments, received the award at the 9th International Conference on...

The system accurately guides the combine down the row at optimal harvesting speeds and helps maneuver around curves, through waterways, or in weedy areas. Steering is handled by the AutoTrac system while the cornhead, with RowSense, makes small adjustments...

Last week's reader poll question asked our eNews readers if they are using a real-time kinematic GPS system for field operations, mainly to test the idea that RTK has made the significant inroads that many in agriculture have expressed...

Reflex Technology provides continuity of position solution to maintain automated steering by seamlessly "flexing" to a lower accuracy mode when a higher accuracy mode is lost; such as loss of the RTK radio link. "That's precisely why AutoFarm has introduced...

Called the Smart Nozzle system, this new technology provides automatic on and off control of individual nozzles based on a field map. When the system encounters field borders or any areas of the map marked as "no apply" zones,...
