Mission: Control

摘要

Variable-rate swath control technology can pay immediate dividends. HAVING BEEN around for only a few years, swath-control technology is still a relatively new innovation. But in the breakneck world of precision agriculture, innovations can become outdated in a hurry. "In a GPS world, it's becoming old hat, but it's a relatively new concept," says Ron Cox, Topcon's Regional Sales Manager for the Southern U.S. But just as the accuracy of GPS systems improves with each passing year, the efficiency of swath control applications does too. Cox says the concept was so successful that growers demanded the technology be more applicable to other pieces of equipment.
