Innovations in Ag Technology

Since the beginning of agriculture farmers have been on the search for new ways to maximize crop yields, reduce cost, be more time efficient, use less space, work less with their backs and more with their heads in order to get more bang for their buck. Agricultural technology has gone long ways from its roots and has kept up in the technological race with other industries like the car industry or the computer industry without getting the same kind of attention. Before writing this paper I was not well aware of all the technology the agriculture industry has adapted into the field. After doing research on different agricultural innovations I decide to focus on one called the “HV-100” a robot designed to perform material handling tasks in the nursery and greenhouse sector.
