John Deere See & Spray uses AI machine learning and computer vision to identify weeds during each pass precisely, writes RDO Equipment\u2019s Katy Hill at CropLife<\/a><\/em>. Early adopters of See & Spray say they\u2019ve increased savings, reduced herbicides and reached ROI faster than expected.<\/p>\n

Farmers know spraying applications can vary from year to year and even from field to field depending on weed pressure and a variety of other crops and environmental factors. To address these ever-changing conditions, John Deere and RDO Equipment Co. team members partner with farmers to bring the See & Spray technology<\/a> into fields.<\/p>\n

Equipped with cameras, AI-machine learning and machine control, John Deere\u2019s See & Spray precisely identifies, targets and sprays weeds. First introduced in 2018 by John Deere and Blue River technology, See & Spray uses cameras, processors and a boom to apply non-residual herbicides to weeds with pinpoint accuracy within corn, soybean and cotton fields.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe system uses artificial intelligence in combination with the cameras mounted along the boom,\u201d said Mark Schaffner, RDO Equipment Co. regional sales manager based in South Dakota. \u201cThe vision processing units provide real-time data, and the system determines whether each element is a weed or a crop. If it spots a crop, it activates a nozzle and sprays the weed. All of this occurs within milliseconds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Global Drone Usage and Adoption Continues to Skyrocket While Largely Benefiting the Agriculture Industry<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Farmers in the Midwest and Northwest partner with team members like Schaffner, Gannon Pudwill, an RDO precision upgrade product specialist, and experienced technicians to obtain in-the-field experience with See & Spray. From year to year, more farmers opt to purchase a See & Spray or upgrade their current sprayer with a See & Spray precision upgrade kit<\/a> (PUK). During just one year, RDO increased from seven customers trying See & Spray to about 60 doing See & Spray field trials the<\/a> following season. Through these field partnerships, farmers discover ways that the See & Spray technology optimizes their operations and reduces overall spraying applications.<\/p>\n

See & Spray? What Farmers Report\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cDuring field trials, farmers using See & Spray saw a 60% to 70% savings,\u201d Schaffner shared after a trial with Steven Swanhorst, a farmer based in northeastern South Dakota.<\/p>\n

Swanhorst shares that though the technology sounds intimidating, it is not.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s quite simple and user-friendly. The dealer support has been on the \u2018A Team\u2019 level. The degree of technology is not only on the leading edge, but on the bleeding edge,\u201d Swanhorst said. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t own a sprayer without it.\u201d<\/p>\n
