This collection features the course assets from The Saskatchewan Distance Learning Centre's Agriculture Courses. Course assets are resources that support the delivery of the course content and may include: a course timeline, handouts, assignments, organizers, images and videos.
Please note: the resources in this collection do NOT provide the content of the course, but rather the assets used to deliver the course.
In this video, we are going to discuss 10 autonomous tractors, farming machines, and robots designed to replace or assist humans in agriculture. These farming equipment include autonomous tractors, weeders, harvesters, and others with multiple purposes.
The lightweight agricultural robot scans crops, collects genetic data, measures traits, and helps identify common diseases.
The Australian Macadamia Society uses AgTech through weather stations, sensors, and soil moisture probes across growing regions in Queensland.
The future is upon us. Brian & Darren talk about the growth of the auto-steer and autonomous tractor technology. Soon you could see a tractor without a driver on a farm near you.
Drones are changing the way people farm in much of the world, but the technology is just beginning to make its way into US Agriculture. Today we take a look at how people will be using their drones on the farm in 2023.
GRoW is an advanced robot made for precision greenhouse harvesting. This machine will autonomously move throughout the greenhouse scanning and choosing vegetables ready to be picked from the vine. GRoW moves up and down the rows of the greenhouse unmanned and then is driven to the next row via a phone app. The phone app also lets you configure which ripeness to harvest and where on the vine to make the cut. GRoW will record and predict productivity to ensure optimum performance.
This video outlines some examples of agricultural technology that is changing farming production.

Precision agriculture (PA), satellite farming, or site-specific crop management (SSCM) is a farming management concept based on observing, measuring, and responding to inter and intra-field variability in crops.
This video defines Precision Agriculture and provides some examples of the ways these technologies are used.
