Autonomous Equipment
on the Smart Farm
The DOT autonomous platform has seen significant use over the various fields of the Olds College Smart Farm and its partner Carson Agricultural Enterprises. So far, 3 fields from Carlson Agricultural Enterprises and 8 fields from Olds College have been either seeded, fertilized, or sprayed with the autonomous platform, covering over 2,200 acres of land between the two farms. Data related to in-field, fuel, and labour efficiency will be compiled and summarized in a future project update.
