Nothing Runs Like A Deere

Agritech is right up there with Medtech in terms of impressing me these days. 

This John Deere electric robot can plant 6,600 seeds in 3 seconds.

Think about that for a minute. 

While you were thinking for one minute, it just planted another 132,000 seeds. This is phenomenal technology.

Post explained that ExactShot is able to plant an incredible 6,600 seeds in three seconds. Its vacuum system pulls the seeds in, and the travel speed of the vehicle and the brush creates a dead drop with extreme placement accuracy so that the seeds go exactly where they’re supposed to. That way, plants have a better chance of emerging and growing at the same rate.
