In recent years, autonomy has been a major topic of discussion in the Technology Corner, with a particular focus on retrofit kits for mowing, tillage, and now, planting cover crops. Jake Warford, a precision specialist with Linco-Precision in Nokomis, Ill., shares that their customers are just beginning to explore the potential of autonomy in their operations.
Currently, Warford’s main area of focus is on the sod market, which requires labor-intensive tasks like frequent mowing over large areas. However, he sees great potential for autonomy in row crop applications such as fertilizer and lime spreading, as well as cover crop planting. Warford mentions using their autonomy kit to sow cover crops and wheat last year, highlighting the endless possibilities for automation in agriculture.
Warford and Linco-Precision offer the Sabanto autonomy kit, which follows a philosophy of “crawl, walk, run.” They are currently in the walking phase, slowly implementing autonomy in various agricultural tasks. Warford believes that the possibilities for autonomy in agriculture are vast and varied
