A Real Farmer's Opinion on Autonomous Tractors

[@gsgill649]

There is a reason you are planting on your birthday over & over! It's because you love what you do and it shows in these videos. Thanks to you & farmers everywhere.

[@jasonrelentlessly1855]

I stumbled upon your channel and am really enjoying what you are showing. I am in California, but my mom was born in Callaway (looks to be about an hour away from where you are). For generations my family were farmers in Nebraska. My grandparents left partly because my uncle was deaf and California had better schools for deaf kids at the time. When my grandmother was a child, her favorite part of farming was walking behind the horses and holding the plow steady. I love seeing how technology has made farming more comfortable, faster, and more productive. I feel like I’m connecting with my roots when I watch your videos, and who knows, maybe our great great grandparents knew each other! Thanks for making these videos and keep up the good work!

[@manelson647]

Love how you always include detail in your explanations….things no one else thinks to tell us non-farmers. Even how to rip open the seed bags….so cool. Thank you for everything you do….because I know it’s plenty. I love ❤️ you!!! Grammy

Really enjoy watching you planting. I haven’t been watching you guys much recently. Ukraine and my son deployed with his unit months ago. Allies ops etc. Just thinking how my cousins planted corn, wheat etc in the late 70’s. Large hectares but not flat land. Quite a contrast and no computer technology all eyeballs and brain overdrive. After school I would drive a truck loading from harvester then to the dryer’s. Cousins operation sheep/cattle/grains was big then now a lot bigger. Their kids who are about your parents generation took over and now their kids are working the farms. ( your age) They invited me down last year so I’m thinking about visiting this summer. They have similar John Deere equipment to your farms. I just want a ride in one of those tractors🙃aroha from NZ.

keep the farmers in the cabs

[@js4120]

There are so many issues that need to be ironed out before it is even practical, and then will you really be able to insure an automated tractor without someone able to take over. Lots of costly mistakes being made with an operator in the cab. A short lapse of attention almost sent me into the river several years ago in my sprayer on auto steer. One of our farms in Texas was on the Red River and saw some waters near flood stage that removed several acres from one field. Due to the topography of the field and the height of the crop I couldn't see what had happened. I looked at my rate monitor at the wrong time almost didn't have enough space to stop before going over the edge.

[@terrykline1358]

Always great to see you both sharing your hard labor with us. The many accomplishments each and every day must make you feel great. Even if it’s a little accident like Grant had.

[@albertbatfinder5240]

Automation happens in stages. It’s not too difficult to imagine a comfy air conditioned room in your house decked out like the tractor cab. It’s not impossible for sensors to detect the failure of some seeding or harvesting operation. Sure, it may be necessary to hop on a quad bike and perform a fix, but how often you need to do it is the question. If something goes wrong once a day, is that too often? Also, remember that this virtual tractor cab can be scaled up with almost no effort to run multiple real tractors at once. Everyone thinks their job can’t be done by machines, even up to the point the machines are doing 98% of the work.

[@Jowbaka]

If automated tractors were good enough at detecting faults and just stopping, then one farmer could run several of them at the same time and just drive between them to fix the problems.

Good point

[@NtoTheM]

Agreed, every job can be done by machines. The only problem is that the industries like to cut costs and save money, so those machines often fail more than they normally would... But like you said, stages. Even that problem becomes less and less.

[@styxzero1675]

Every job will be doable by a machine, eventually. Esp those that peoples consider "high value" making advanced calculation is something that will come very easy to future AI. Even making the machines will be doable by other machines in the future and we, humanity, will become completely redunant on the grand scheme of things. Let's just hope the singularity will be kind to us.

Autonomous equipment only works as long as there is a human around to monitor and fix things that don’t go as programmed. While AI has come a long way in identifying problems, the realm of a machine then fixing them remains pretty limited. The bigger the machine, the faster it operates, the more it produces, the more important it is to catch and fix glitches ASAP, which can’t be done from sitting in a Lazy Boy recliner 20 miles away. Of course with all the computerized equipment today, I constantly worry that we are one EMP away from entering the stone age.

[@Jamajalama]

first time watching your channel. Just a few things that stood out to me - I am not a farmer at all: holy moly - agriculture is super important und I appreciate your work so much but a field that size without trees, bushes or at least some natural stripes every now and then is soo ecologically dead. No room for insects, birds or a few rodents. And isnt the wind a problem for your soil? You must have so much erosion and sand storms :-O It just does not seem to be very sustainable to me. But as I said - thanks to every farmer for what you do. And also, you are super adorable :) cheers from the other side of the atlantic lake

[@michaelwilliams7481]

A belated happy birthday, Laura, it is always a joy to see your videos. You are correct, nothing can replace the personal touch in the cab. Sound changes will tell you if something is not right, no computer can do that in a tractor. Stay fit and healthy, saying that it was good to hear you say grandpa was out and about, I hope he is doing well.

[@user-vc5rp7nf8f]

There's definitely things AI can do really well, and some it can't. Processing extremely large amounts of data quickly and arriving at the best solution based on a set criteria is something a machine can do better than any biological being. A calculator is a simple example; internet databases are a more modern one. Doing repetitive motion is another great machine advantage. What they fail at are things that require human dexterity. So making an AI robot to go into someone's house to fix a leaking pipe in a timely manner - extremely extremely difficult. Or, like you said, fishing out that one branch in a specific row in a massive field - very tricky. So there are definitely advantages and limitations to machines, but overall, I'd say anything driving-related is probably on it's way to becoming automated. If you told a farmer in the 1900s that in the future there'd be a giant, wheeled machine planting thousands of seeds by itself, he'd probably laugh. So a lot of tech that seems outlandish or impractical now might be evolve to be pretty useful 50, 100, or 500 years down the road.

[@abum91]

We are not far from having full autonomous tractor....repetitive instances are where AI works better

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

What she meant by that was occasionally you get an object or debris blocking the feeder from metering out seeds, and while there are sensors that could be used to detect that, creating a machine that could adapt to whatever might have found its way in there and fixing the problem is a different story entirely. Imagine getting a piece of paper bag stuck in there underneath 50lbs of seed and your tractor shuts down in the middle of a 600 acre field waiting for someone to fish it out so the tractor can keep going. In order to stay productive and not compact/disturb your soil unnecessarily, you'd just about have to utilize a helicopter to fly out to the tractor every time. Being in the cab and able to fix the problem on the spot when it happens is something current technology is sorely lacking. Think about all the little bolts that broke and whatnot that she filmed early in the video, those are also things that an operator could likely fix on the spot. It's that kind of stuff that's the real roadblock to autonomous farming.

I am not sure I understand your point. The world needs fewer farmers because of engineers (by at least an order of magnitude). Did you see the tractor steer itself? Track where it had already planted? Not to mention the tractor itself. Oh, and you should have a look at the varieties of seed available for purchase - they are optimised for different levels of moisture and different conditions to provide the greatest yield, all of which are are chosen based upon forecasts made by engineers. Farming is an incredibly technology intensive occupation.

A lot of people don't grasp that autonomous systems are there to improve the human output, not replace it. The sheer amount of work you guys can do today thanks to modern technology is astonishing, but even in this one video you had at least 3 mechanical failures you had to identify and resolve, you had multiple restocks you had to do, and those systems are not flawless. If a machine went slightly off script, and had no oversight, it could massively fuck up an entire crop, or even potentially cause serious harm. Autonomous systems augment the human.

Laura, I don't comment very much on your channel even though I watch ALL of them. THIS video is by far your best EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRR. John from Australia

Happy birthday late Laura and Gregg, your patience dealing with fixing the planter after hitting accidently the pole is in itself a great gift to your wife! Hope you had a great time celebrating. God bless all the time! Cheers

Ya know.. I've never seen someone do a seed/feed bag ASMR before. But I never knew I needed it either. I do now. Thanks!

You are such a help. My in-laws next door farm, and I would pester them to death to learn and see all the things they do. Never think anything too simple.

Happy birthday, may GOD bless you with many many more

I have worked at a number of factories and construction sites, and you should revisit the issue of ear protection. I never had any trouble hearing alarms, etc., while blocking out distractions.
