…and controls at the right times.” Agricultural automation for precision and scale Managing automation in a factory or warehouse can be difficult, but fields can be just as challenging, noted Haecker. “To put things in perspective, farmers talk in terms of acres,” he said. (One acre equals 0.4 hectares.) “There's about 1.3 acres in a football field, and the typical farm is 4,000 football fields. To seed within a three-week window, equipment will cover one football field in a minute—that's 700 to 3,000 seeds per second. Robots can do that, and we can now locate seeds to within half an…
