We like receving new equipment, even more so when its painted orange (or blue). Thanks to Michael (firetruckdroneguy) for making the trip and delivering our Tender/skid unit for the UTV. We are looking forward to putting it to use within next few weeks during #spraydrone studies!

Friday afternoon check on crops in our #plantertech studies. Cotton is struggling a bit but corn & beans are looking good. Also, good to catch up briefly with @cwganssle on the station today, they are working on some neat upgrades to the @farmwave’s harvest vision AI system!!

Long day for the crew but #plant25 is in the books. Glad to get multiple cotton #plantertech studies in the ground including a high-speed trial in collaboration with Mississippi State colleagues @TheDirtDude. It’s time to switch gears and ramp up data collection!!

Christmas came a little (or a lot) early this year when our new tractor showed up last week. Can’t wait to use it for #agtech #precisionag studies and get it little dirty!! #johndeere #6R @AuburnAg @bsen_au

Between all the planting and other field work, the crew managed to collect a bunch of drone seeding data last and earlier this week. Plus we added a new bird (XAG P150) to the fleet so it’s been a great couple of weeks for the team!! #research25 #agtech @AuburnAg @bsen_au
