Episode 057: Serving Farmers Autonomously with Sabanto

Autonomous field machinery has tremendous potential to offset labor challenges, enable more sustainable crop management techniques, and reframe the model of traditional agriculture. Craig Rupp, CEO of Sabanto Ag, joins this episode of the FarmBits podcast to discuss Sabanto's autonomous machinery platform and his views on autonomy in agriculture. We dive into topics such as the meaning of full-stack autonomy, why Farming-as-a-Service (FaaS) is a viable model for implementing autonomy, and the opportunities that autonomy enables for current farmers and individuals who want to farm. This is a great first episode focusing on automation in crop production for the Spring 2022 series. Take a listen and get ready to further this discussion throughout the series!
