Took a drive today to check out two of the fields that were part of our 100 acre fully-autonomous milestone last fall. The photo above shows a nice stand of cereal rye that is the exact spot featured in the video below. The cover crop will be terminated in the next few days to make way for this year’s soybean crop. Soil health benefits will accrue for the farmer, including an increase in soil organic matter and carbon storage.
Here’s a nice shot from the second field from today. Also cereal rye. We had some seeder issues on this field, but this portion turned out very well. Many thanks to Loran Steinlage (@FLOLOfarms) supporting us through our on-the-fly learning last fall.
