    Spent the morning getting everything fixed that broke over the weekend, door of cubicle shed fell off last night, switch was gone on compressor for feeders, valve on scraper motor gone, gate at back of milking parlour broke and digger wouldnt start. That was on top of cow dying with tetany. Was 4 lads here at one stage this morning-including ai man:)

    It doesn't seem to be agreeing with you today, had one of those last week but they don't come round too often, thankfully.

    The bully cows that normally are first out of the shed couldnt understand that they had to go out a different gate this morning. Anyways heading away for a few days in a few weeks so anytime anything is going wrong I think of that

    The sprayer was very good. Is that on every week it's very good to be fair.

    It was a robotic sprayer that goes down tramlines in field crops and identifies weeds in crops and sprays just on the weed. It was a small prototype sprayer.
    It had a camera and could identify weeds different from crop.

    Best at the end - one plant tomatoes above ground potatoes below ground.

    Ahhh 'they're' finally getting closer to going commercial. The tech has been there with interow hoes and ultra high def cameras but was a bit unrefined. Does it go by light refraction/reflection?! from the various leaves or actual software that could say Hey! That's not wheat?! Did they mention? GG1 has a link somewhere to a very early system in oz killing green weed on brown soil background

    This was in oz as well. Not sure of software, it didn't go into that. But it showed it going into a crop (don't ask me what it was) and it was able to identify weeds and spray a directed shot of spray just on the weed.

    Not quite the agriculture we're all used to dealing with but this is something that I'd be very worried about if I was in the fishing game! Not too informed on fish quota's etc. but the quota numbers they talk about are scary compared to what this vessel was permitted.
