| Although this may not be the reply you are looking for, technology succeeds when it "simplifies" our work.. Lightbar guidance and now autosteer is a prime example. Auto-boom shutoffs are an even better one. As long as the little black box figures out what to do, dynamic on the go VRT will be wonderful, anything less and it will fail in the marketplace.
For fall nh3 strip till in our rolling terrain, we tested Trimble's new implement based autosteer. A complicated system with two RTK recievers working in tandem, but almost no new stuff for us to learn, hook it up, set it up and go. New products need to work like that...
On the software side, our VRT work that started out being a nightmare to do has been simplified with the right software from Mapshots that allows me to pretty much push-button create a set of maps for an entire producer. On the other hand, we struggle finding much to do with yield data than look at the maps b/c while a lot of potential exists it is far from push button simple.
The "research" side of precision ag is a lot of fun (at least for those of us computer "geeks"), but the simple get the job done right and quickly processes are what pays the bills... | |
