Seeing Soil Differently

摘要

Running a disc harrow or land finisher nearly 1/2 inch deeper than necessary is equivalent to moving an extra 80 tons of soil per acre. Running a chisel plow or deep soil ripper to remove compaction where it's unnecessary wastes even more time and fuel.Helping farmers eliminate such unnecessary expense is one goal of EarthOptics, a young company specializing in belowground precision and innovation. It is also the winner of the AGCO Challenge: New Sensing, Measurement and Edge Computing Technologies toMonetize Soil Insight and Carbon Sequestration.
