Peterson Farms Seed hosted a field demonstration near Harwood, North Dakota Thursday to demonstrate new sprayer technology. Reducing chemical use and save on cost with spot spraying weeds is the ultimate goal for Greeneye Technology. Midwest Sales Representative Tom McMurren says the dual boom system gives farmers options for broadcast and spot treatment. “The cameras capture 5,000 images per second while the graphics processing unit analyzes those images as it goes through the field. This unit can operate up to 15 miles per hour.” Eventually this program will be able to provide producers with a weed map of their fields. Greeneye Technology has programs for corn and soybeans but will be expanding to more crops in the future. Listen to the full interview with Tom McMurren here.
