These studies included evaluations of different planter types (seed meters), seeding configurations, seeding rates, and high-speed planting technology.

Noah Newman stops by a Best Buy on his lunch break to check out the Meta AI Glasses he's been hearing all about. Could these smart glasses be potential game changers for farmers, technicians and precision specialists?

In the 2025 season, the Univ. of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL) conducted replicated field trials to evaluate two different approaches to deploying AI-driven precision spraying.

Plant Profiles, a new feature launching for all LaserWeeders, demonstrates how this AI translates into practical value for farmers. The feature enables farmers to quickly and easily tailor the foundational LPM to their unique crops, weeds, and field conditions.

“We understand the increasing pressures farmers are facing, driving them to find solutions that allow them more flexibility and the opportunity to do more with less,” said Josh Ladd. “That is why we have updated See & Spray to directly address those challenges by helping farmers apply exactly what’s needed, where it’s needed, and across more acres and more crops.”

These “green-on-green” systems are more complex because they must distinguish weeds from crop plants, but they offer significant potential for reducing herbicide use while maintaining effective weed control, according to the latest research from Kansas State Extension.
