Robots have made their way to farm fields in masses over the last decade, and that growth is expected to continue.
One ag robotics pro says specialty crop growers stand the most to gain.
“Yes. It saves on labor, but this thing is a big expense and the fragility of the equipment, all those things are not yet there. But I’m going to make a prediction that in specialty crops within 10 years, more than half of specialty crops, harvesting will be done by robots. It’s coming, and it’s coming strong. I can see that from our relationships with our customers, and from our experience with our partners, it’s coming,” said Mark DeSantis.
DeSantis tells aginfo.net that this kind of technology is not just for smaller operations. He believes industrial growers will also be on board.
