SUMMARY:Greeneye Technology Targeted Spraying Open House
DESCRIPTION:Grand Farm invites you to an open house to see Greeneye Technology’s Targeted Spraying system in action. Ron Holiday\, Grand Farm’s new Farm Advisor\, will walk through the system and share how this technology works in the field. We’ll also be joined by Aman Anand\, Head of Partnerships at Greeneye Technology\, who will provide additional context on the platform and how it’s being adopted by growers. \nThis will be a casual show-and-tell style session. If weather permits\, we’ll run the sprayer outside in the field. If conditions aren’t ideal\, the sprayer will be on display inside the Grand Farm Innovation Shop. \nAbout Greeneye Technology:\nGreeneye Technology has developed a “targeted spraying” solution that uses high-speed cameras and artificial intelligence to identify weeds in real time. The system sprays only where weeds are detected\, significantly reducing herbicide use while maintaining effective weed control. By combining advanced imaging\, machine learning\, and unique system design\, the platform helps farmers lower input costs and improve sustainability.
