In this episode of Field trials; Ian McDonald, crop innovations specialist for the provincial ministry of agriculture in Ontario, Canada, describes the current autonomous equipment market as “a wild west” of ideas and concepts. With full autonomy coming in a variety of forms, the focus on more high-management crops has played a role in driving some companies towards cabless machines.
