As a precision specialist at Linco-Precision in Nokomis, Illinois, Jake Warford has been focusing on the use of retrofit kits for mowing, tillage and now cover cropping. Autonomy is a key theme in their operations, and Warford sees potential for automation in various agricultural activities.
Their main focus currently is on the sod market, which requires labor-intensive tasks such as frequent mowing of large areas. However, Warford believes that there are endless possibilities for autonomy in inter-row cropping applications such as fertilizer and lime spreading, as well as planting cover crops.
To illustrate this potential, Warford mentions the use of their Autonomy Kit to plant cover crops and wheat last year. He believes that the possibilities for autonomy in agriculture are vast and varied, and that there are applications wherever they can be made to work.
Linco-Precision offers the Sabanto autonomous kit, which follows the “crawl, walk, run” philosophy. They are currently in the walking stage, slowly implementing autonomy in various agricultural activities. Warford is excited about the potential of autonomy to revolutionize agriculture and improve efficiency and productivity on farms across the country.
