Today @ilExtension @bowmannd held a cover crops field day. This robot seeded into standing corn - field to the left. The field to the right was drilled after harvest. The difference is stunning & favors the robot. We'll talk about it on today's https://t.co/EuEqM0IM1P's CMR.

Make sure to stop by the Farm of the Future on May 17th from 9-11am for a Pop-up Field Day to compare the impact of using small, autonomous robots to seed cover crops against conventionally planted cover crops.

How will the I-FARM "Farm of the Future" operate?What will its robots do and how will they help farmers? 🤖🌾

I-FARM's Naveen Uppalapati, @NCSAatIllinois Research Scientist, answers questions about this innovative @USDA_NIFA-funded project in our FAQ!

We solve problems first. 🔸🔹

Cover cropping is hugely beneficial but costly. So #ILLINOIS professor Girish Chowdhary's industrious iCOVER team will use a $5M USDA grant to robotic cover-crop plant 20k acres in AL, IL, IN, MO, and IA.

A new $5M @USDA-funded project led by Girish Chowdhary of @IllinoisABE will address obstacles to cover crop planting among underserved farmers.

iCOVER will scale up autonomous farming/sensing technologies to make soil measurements faster & less costly!
