Planning for Profit: Spot spraying AI technology with Stephen Richards
“…he’s got individual nozzle controls, so Hawkeye, he’s only spot spraying. That’s all he uses the machine for. He’s got a few sprayers. This is just his spot sprayer and he thinks that there is no other way to spray. He said he kicks back, watching the footy on his iPad. He’s got his height controller controlling the boom. He’s got his weed detect turning on and spot spraying his weeds and that’s probably the best case scenario.”
In the seventh episode of our eight-part Planning for Profit series we caught up with Stephen Richards from Goldacres to learn more about brown on green and green on green spot spraying AI technology and whether it can help you be more profit in 2024.
