MELFORT, Sask. — The first ship carrying 23,000 metric tonnes of grain from Ukraine has docked at the Horn of Africa port of Djibouti and will be shipped overland to northern Ethiopia.
Food security experts said it is a drop in the bucket in terms of the need in areas of East Africa badly affected by deadly drought and conflict.
The World Food Program said this first shipload of grain is enough to feed 1.5 million people on full rations for a month, but 20 million people across Ethiopia are facing hunger.
The agriculture sector has its first autonomous manure spreader.
The Case IH Trident is a combination applicator that can be run in both autonomous mode and manual mode.
This allows an operator to drive the Trident to a field, establish the boundaries and set up the autonomous mission. The operator can take care of other jobs while in the cab or the operator can exit the cab and tend to other duties.
The Trident’s autonomous capabilities are powered by Raven technology.
