Mackane Vogel here in Hanover, Germany at Agritechnica, where there is lots of ag technology and innovation on display. Why don't we send it off to the Cover Crop Connection segment right now and see what cover crop technology we have going on here in Germany?

“This is a small spray system. We have sensors that we mount on the spray booms, and what the sensor does, it'll basically talk with the chlorophyll in your plants and it'll be able to detect the weeds. It can do that up to really fast speeds and really high precision. We have a nozzle every 10 inches, and it will fire just that 10 inches of nozzle spacing if it's a small weed. It can detect up to pinky-size weeds and it's high accuracy, but it also has ... it does your whole broadcast spraying, full cover spraying. It can detect rows in the row recognition.”

“Also what it does is it can map biomass. If you're doing any in-crop spraying or just full cover spraying, it can live-map the biomass, and that way those maps will be sent to the cloud and can be used later on. For no-till farming, the biggest issue is probably weed control when there's no crop, and the green on ground detection in this system is probably the most stable one on the market.”

Well, as you can see, there is some conservation agriculture on display here, even in Germany.
