Failing to plan is a plan for failure..... Farmers today need quality data to make educated decisions in their agronomic plans. Trey Reid laid out how Biome Makers Inc. is an integral part in "how" and more specifically "why" we make the recommendations that we do on farms. We don't have all the answers to this puzzle but starting with quality data moves us down the road to more regenerative based farming. Another big thanks to Taniell Nirvana Liepner and Jamie Nix for putting this all together.

This system allows us to passively measure animals’ daily feed intake and feeding behavior, both of which can influence their methane emissions and how efficiently they convert feed intake into body weight gain. We examine the natural animal-to-animal variability of these traits for similar animals fed the same diet and look at diet and management effects on feed intake and methane emissions. #sustainability

𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗧 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲: 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹🌿 During the recent annual meeting of the Weed Science Society of America, Joe Johnson, a doctoral student at Texas A&M University, presented his research project on using a robot for weed control. He took SPOT, a robot built by Boston Dynamics, equipped it with a propane torch attached to a six-axis arm and trained it to detect common sunflowers in a cotton field. The research's results were impressive. The weeds were destroyed with a 2,642-degree flame with 97.3% accuracy. Spot did an excellent job. Although the research may seem like a novelty at first glance, using a four-legged robot like Spot offers some distinct advantages, Johnson said. For instance, compared to an autonomous wheeled robot, the robot dog is smaller and more agile, which reduces the risk of crop damage. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gEvfMGAP
