General Session: Advancing Toward Autonomy: What No-Tillers Need to Know Marriott 5-6 (2nd Floor)

Widespread availability of fully autonomous vehicles in agriculture may still be several years away. But with the size of today’s ag equipment getting to the point of diminishing returns, companies have publicly showcased self-driving innovations — advancing development to the cusp of commercial production, says Norbert Beaujot.

The president and founder of Saskatchewan-based SeedMaster and DOT will lay out diverse opportunities with autonomous machinery for no-tillers based on his own experimentation. He’ll discuss the potential for efficient intercropping, seeding multiple varieties simultaneously in different fields and targeted in-season application of different fertilizers — all performed by a remote-controlled implement.

General Session: “Unlocking the Profit Potential of an Effective, Responsible No-Till Nutrient Management Program Marriott 5-6 (2nd Floor)

Calmer, a veteran no-till farmer from western Illinois, has learned there’s a huge difference between maximum physical yield and maximum financial yield.

Calmer will discuss 10 years’ worth of yield, economic and soil-test data from his fertility plots and how he identifies profitable applications of nutrients. Years of surface-applied phosphorus, potassium and lime on these plots not only show the nutrients are stratifying, but his PH levels are as well. Calmer will share some innovative ideas for managing nutrient challenges without sacrificing yields.
