This video shows off Year Two of the I-FARM: Farm of the Future research into using drones to broadcast cover crop seed over soybeans. Seeding cover crops in September allows the cover crop a much earlier germination than it would otherwise get if it was seeded after the soybeans are harvested. Planting cover crops also help prevent soil erosion, sequester carbon, and some add nutrients to the soil. For more information go to: https://sustainability.illinois.edu/r...
