I picked up a couple tweets about chaff lining and wondered what it was. Turns out to be a low cost, low tech way of dealing with weeds, good in dry years #chafflining. Check this out if you are curious like me

Once in a life time opportunity, got to take my 100 year old Grandma out for a combine ride. She still shakes her head at all the technology we have available for farming.

Agree Jess. Too much Agtech development without understanding how farming works
Why big data hasn’t made a big dent on farm - did anyone ask a farmer? Looking frwd to seeing the Future Farm project and the results and how it influences the adoption of soil sensors for in put mgmt. Site specific adoption got a long way to go compared to bolt on technologies!

Shows how growers are managing chemical use to deal with weeds in a targeted and responsible way. The machine target sprays only where it sees the weed.
Camera detection of radish and vol. canola in cereals. Demo at 10km/hr, capacity is 25km/hr. Will also be able to do canopy% for VR N etc. + more upgrades in the future.
