I wanna say thank you to Mike Vallery and his family for opening up their farm to share the use of autonomous sprayers working in the field. Technology is changing fast and for the most part, I would say it greatly benefits not only the farmer, the end user and the environment.

Our #PCT research team wouldn’t be possible without great partners. Thanks to @BurkhartFarmCen & @UnverferthMfg for the partnership...letting us put our ideas, seed, & research into their equipment to bring these plots to life. We truly appreciate their support. #OhioAgriculture

A perfect day for planting a #corn plot in Huron County, Ohio! With our #summerinterns and #Agronomy Solutions Advisors (ASA's), only four #seedplots remain. Great teamwork! @BrevantseedsUS @CROPLANseed #plant26 #OhioAgriculture #SunriseCooperative

Beautiful day to spread Urea! Our SPS team and Operations team working together to pan test and calibrate our machines. I am here to help support the VSN camera technology which is steering the machine. The camera “sees” the corn plants and guides the machine between them

Planting one of our strip till plots to soybeans today. Big difference in soil temperature. We should have some smart firmer moisture readings here shortly as well. 80° air temp 70° in the strips 60° untouched corn stalks

What a perfect day to wrap up our fall strip till trials, locating fertilizer 4 inches beneath the surface while executing 8 inch deep tillage for the upcoming 2026 soybean crop.

Another day another strip till plot. I can’t remember the last time this farm has had tillage done. I have worked/lived around it for 35 years. This Unverferth Raptor is doing a beautiful job!
