Lindsay Corporation, a leading global manufacturer and distributor of irrigation and infrastructure equipment and technology, has announced plans to invest more than $50 million over the next two years in its largest global manufacturing facility located in Lindsay, Neb.

AGCO is investing to attract more talent across key product development disciplines to deliver new, value-added precision ag technologies for all farmers, regardless of the equipment brands used in their operation.

Solinftec introduces their newest AgTech scouting robot, powered by artificial intelligence. The automated machine will scan the crops and record their growth rates, plant health the prevalence of any weeds, collecting all this information to allow the grower to make educated decisions about their fields. The robot is suited for farms around 500 acres in size and works best with several types of row crops including corn, soybeans, cotton, wheat, canola and many others.

The solution integrates two key activities in precision agriculture for pest and disease management — treatment recommendation based on in-field observations and variable-rate spray application.
