Automation on display at Ag Progress Days
A shrinking labor pool has forced farmers both locally and nationally to seek other measures to ensure high yields on their crops while also maintaining human-level efficiency. Researchers at Penn State are looking at ways to mitigate the dwindling labor workforce, and they’ve collaborated with local farmers through automation to help compensate.
