Ag In Motion Discovery Plus A Virtual Success

Ag in Motion's virtual Discovery Plus event wrapped up on Saturday.
 
Organizers are pleased with how it all turned out. Show Director Rob O'Connor says about 9000 people took part in the online sessions.
 
"I thought the variety of the program was a good thing for us because we had ranchers and farmers from across the Prairies participating in the different sessions."
 
He notes the online platform worked really well.
 
"When it was all said and done I would properly term this event more as a giant convention because of the number of sessions and presentations that we had.  We saw a lot of people logging on to watch presentations for half an hour and then go and come back in a few hours to watch other presentations."
 
He says it was the first time in North America that a farm show of this magnitude went digital.
 
O'Conner notes they also had organizers from shows in the US, Germany, India and Australia go online to check out the event to see how it worked.

Video: Fendt Slicer - Automated adjustment of the conditioner intensity

The Fendt Slicer explained: Grassland and forage stands show a high heterogeneous biomass growth when cut, which leads to different initial dry masses and drying speeds. The aim is to have a consistent dry matter content of 30 to 40% across the entire field. The Fendt Slicer 960/1010 Pro models with optional tine conditioner offer variable adjustment of the conditioner intensity thanks to the innovative ISOBUS control. The automatic adjustment is made using sensors in real time measurements or using application data based on the position registration of the biomass.
