Our Agrivator group (more on that another day) is arranging a demo-day for several companies that sell precision farming equipment. I had somebody ask me recently if guidance/autosteering really pays. The answer is a resounding "YES!"
By using GPS, we can dramatically improve efficiency. It allows us to reduce overlap, increase speed and decrease operator fatigue. This saves a bunch on inputs (fuel, seed, fertilizer, labor etc.) and helps us get more out of the very expensive equipment we run over our fields. At the same time, we're able to be a little gentler on our environment too! Below is a little video of a common device.
