摘要

It's like the old joke about the factory of the future requiring only one human and a dog to operate. The human is there to observe, report and to feed the dog. The dog is there to bite the human if he tries to touch anything. Is this where technologyis taking the farm equipment industry? Dr. Abe Orbach, senior director of Precision Farming and Guidance Platform for CNH America, who works with both Case IH and New Holland brands, thinks that agriculture in America is indeed following a similar path. His job is to provide the market with what the market wants and needs in the areas of auto guidance and precision farming products.
