With OneEarth Farms and that type I think we've seen the limit of acres a corporate farm can expand to. I'd trust the idiots behind the wheel running my 18 combines before I'd trust DOT to run them. You want them to run with robots? Great. Give me my $500k/quarter and have at it. I'll be in Hawaii if you want me. Sounds like a solution looking for a problem.

disclaimer: I don't run 18 combines. I run 2.

Not in my career, but consider we are a very small market in the world.
I bet over 95% of world farm machinery is operated by two feet and a heartbeat employees.
Increased automation always coming.

Millions unemployed and the best solution is autonomous farming....

So even more interesting news to this....driverless trucks means CN will reduce the number of people controlling trains...

So is Norbert involved in any way anymore since Raven took over his project.

My guess is he is enjoying the 5 million Ralph gave him just before he sold out.

We drive past (one of?) their testing field when we go to Regina on Highway 48.

Interesting to see.

I wonder how long it will take for them to become widely adopted, if ever.

You would need alot of them the size they are now. 24-7 or not....guys with 60+foot drills are doing that already.

Good luck, what harm could it do?

Quote from article.... "The company has also partnered with Economic Development Regina as a part of the Investment Partnership Program" ......enter bucket!

They are very slow in developing it not a retail product, tough business.
