Agricultural Machinery Company: corn and Soybean cultivation in the United States will be realized in 2030 & quot; full Automation & quot
On November 24, Deere, a top agricultural machinery manufacturer, said on Wednesday that the cultivation of corn and soybeans in the United States would be "fully automated" in 2030.
Many American farmers have paid Deere to use automation in their farming this fall. Deere is exploring a recurring fee model that allows growers to use automated farming techniques as needed.
"We are committed to fully automated farming of corn and soybeans locally in the United States," Josh Jepsen, the company's chief financial officer, said on an earnings call on Wednesday. The progress of the project has confirmed that "it's technically feasible, and I'm really excited about it," he said. "
Deere released an automatic tractor earlier this year. In addition, the company is developing a technology that uses artificial intelligence sprayers to identify weeds in the field. In the future, Deere also plans to apply autopilot technology to farm vehicles loaded with harvested grain. The company aims to increase recurring revenue by 10% by 2030.
