I sold some equipment that they used my first job out of isu. ISU alum started it and believe still runs it.

Scouted some fields today for a company, GREAT time for it. Pioneer fields had some green snap issues up here in NC Iowa. A lot heavier than any other brands or even their other ventures.

There are already fields in southern Wisconsin that are past the point of concern and have basically melted from the weather.

Really obvious to pick out the heavy compaction areas along headlands at this point

My farming days are in the rearview mirror, but I'm fascinated by Deere's see and spray technology. Anybody on here using it? I've never seen the mechanical configuration but am having trouble conceiving how a weed can be detected and spray delivered to that area at speeds up to 15 mph. Remarkable.
Will this methodology replace one pass chemical applications or be used solely as a "clean up" or rescue pass? Will it evolve to a two tank-two boom system to allow application of chemicals with a residual while targeting emerged weeds?
The driving force will ultimately be economics over stewardship, but what do the numbers show in savings per acre for investment and how much will that change in the near future with new chemicals and new trait technologies in the pipeline?
A lot to comprehend

A 135hp tractor and an 8 row planter going 3mph, what is this, a center for ants. It would be cool to see their equipment in action. I like the idea of smaller equipment being used for longer hours and its not just a dedicated machine for a single job.

The cameras are angled forward, and the nozzles are angled slightly rearward.

They already have dual-product machines with dual-nozzle technology which allows for a broadcast and see-and-spray pass at the same time.

gotta start somewhere i guess.

Your middle point is already a thing. Current JD tech can do a split app allowing for both see and spray post as well as broadcast residual in the same pass.

Savings is the tricky part. Self propelled sprayers are already hideously expensive so it's hard to make a reasonable early upgrade ROI even with the fairly reasonable, at least currently, subscription they charge per acre
