Tech Hub LIVE 2024 has been an exciting couple of days for TEAL, providing us the opportunity to connect with leading companies at the forefront of agtech. These innovators are transforming farming and ushering in a new, more profitable, and more efficient age for farmers everywhere.

Tech Hub LIVE attracts the largest gathering of thought leaders and innovative practitioners dedicated to turning new technology opportunities into practical business advantages on the farm. It empowers trusted advisors, who are the critical link for growers to realize the benefits of these new capabilities, with market-tested, actionable solutions to implement today.

While we can’t cover everything we saw this year, we are thrilled to discuss some of the exciting trends that TEAL is looking forward to and the innovative technologies that are revolutionizing global farming.

Soil Matters!

AquaSpy

Soil is not just where a farmer plants their seeds; it’s fundamental to life on earth. To feed the fast-growing population sustainably, there is an urgent need for accurate, up-to-date soil health information. AquaSpy uses an innovative layer-by-layer vertical approach to measuring soil moisture, salinity, temperature, and root zone activity. Their intelligent soil moisture and root monitoring probes cover a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, nuts, and grains, making them a versatile choice for modern agriculture.

Other companies making an impact in soil health include:

• CropX: Offers integrated soil management solutions.
• Stevens Water: Provides advanced soil moisture sensors.
• Earth Optics: Utilizes ground-penetrating radar for soil health assessment.
• SoilOptix: Delivers high-resolution soil mapping.

Telematics and Fleet Operations

Razor Tracking

Efficient management of farm equipment is crucial, and Razor Tracking’s telematics solutions are leading the way. By offering real-time data on vehicle and equipment usage, Razor Tracking helps farmers optimize their fleet operations, reduce downtime, and cut operational costs.

Robotics are Making Farming Autonomous

Rogo

Rogo is pioneering agriculture’s most accurate soil sampling tool that’s completely autonomous. The Rogo robot automatically changes field settings based on a farm’s specs and records extensive sampling metadata autonomously. This ensures farmers know everything there is to know about every soil sample – down to the exact location of every core.

John Deere

John Deere’s connected self-driving tractors are large, robotic vehicles designed to plant and harvest crops autonomously. Equipped with sensors, GPS systems, and advanced software, they can navigate fields, track weather patterns, and predict yield potential. Their autonomous 8R Tractor, See & Spray™, and E-Power Backhoe are just some of the technologies advancing farming globally.

Real-time Sensor Platforms and Mapping Technologies

Veris Technologies

Veris Technologies creates solutions to help farmers and agronomists map and manage soil variability. Their latest product, CoreScan™, revolutionizes soil analysis by providing high-resolution data on soil compaction, nutrient and water storage, and organic matter. CoreScan™ enables precise, data-driven decisions, enhancing crop management and sustainability.

SWAT Maps Croptimistic Technology Inc.

SWAT MAPS (Soil, Water, and Topography) are high-resolution soil foundation maps used to execute variable rate fertilizer, seed, soil amendment, pesticide, or precision water management. These maps provide a solid foundation for precision agriculture, enabling more efficient and sustainable farming practices.

Scanit Technologies

Scanit Technologies is enabling growers to proactively maximize yields and minimize operating costs through early detection of airborne pathogens. Their SporeCam captures, inspects, and classifies airborne spores for diseases like Tar Spot, providing real-time alerts weeks before visible signs of damage. This proactive approach to disease management ensures healthier crops and reduces yield losses.

Kahler Automation

Kahler Automation automates control systems for dry fertilizer automation, bulk liquid fertilizer handling, grain handling equipment, truck traffic control, and industrial control innovations. These solutions streamline operations, reduce labor costs, and enhance efficiency.

Ranch Systems

Ranch Systems provides solutions for real-time data collection, monitoring and control from the field to your fingertips. Their products collect real-time data through a cloud-based monitoring solution accessible by smartphone, tablet, or computer. This enables their customers to automate the monitoring of flow meters in the field. With labor costs increasing and skilled laborers becoming scarcer, Ranch System’s ability to remotely control equipment like pumps reduces costs and provides convenience.

Farming Drones

Rantizo

Rantizo was the first agricultural drone company authorized by the FAA. With over 200 years of combined experience in agriculture and aviation, they fly services over 200,000 acres per year, utilizing advanced drone technology for precise application of crop treatments.

aerialPLOT

aerialPLOT accelerates ag product development by leveraging high-resolution full-season imagery to measure crop dynamics. Their cloud-based geospatial platform, combined with a dedicated UAV pilot network, provides turnkey data collection across the U.S. This systematic approach allows agronomists to quantify crop responses and develop trait-based growth models, reducing dependence on manual data collection.

Ag Technology Solutions Group

A leading distributor in precision agriculture technology, Ag Technology Solutions Group focuses on current and newly launched technologies for farmers. They offer some of the most advanced drone sprayers on the market, enhancing the precision and efficiency of crop treatment applications.
