E89: Autonomous is in the Field

As farmers look to a future determined more and more by changing climates and limited resources, technology– and the companies that create it– promises to help progressive producers to stay ahead of the curve. 

This week, in the first part of our two part technology deep dive, we’ll hear from Progressive Farmer Crops Editor Matt Wilde. He’ll give us the download on autonomous equipment that is, after years of hype, making its way into fields in a big way this season. 

We’ll hear about how farmers (and their neighbors) are reacting to tractors without drivers, how they’re adapting to take advantage of the changes, and what might be ahead in the coming years. 

Then we’ll dig into the latest moves in the precision tillage space from John Deere and Case IH, and hear about a very special story hopping out of an Iowa dairy.
