while out Farmers in Nigeria are still using hoe and cutlass to farm....I'll always say it...If Europe, North America and some part of Asia says they are in 21st century, the Nigeria and the whole of Africa is in the 15th century... sure we aren't in the same age and time.



LOL... Point of correction, we are still in medieval period o

Nice one. This is quite massive but still achievable even in Naija, if and if only priorities are set right.

Interesting! Good people keep making the world better while evil people are causing sadness and sorrow. With this development, agriculture will be attractive again and fun to do.

exactly, with all these developments, it wont seem so daunting

Wow...

In Nigeria this tech will get people out of jobs from the planters and harvesters,to the people that package them in bags grin

We already have very few hands in the agricultural sector, so no lele.

It would be a government project if it ever comes to our shores. And bro, government can't and won't plant just everything. There'll be countless of other agricultural products to plant, need I even mention that the government would focus mostly on cash crops.......

It's a welcome development, only persons with very little security and those who have abandoned their brains would ignore this innovation and feel threatened.

I've always said on this platform that robots will one day replace.man. We would be seen by robots as gods or creators and even after the last biological man dies.

Man too is a robot, biological robot albeit of another race and we today call them gods.

it's our Ascension, it's on its way it's our destiny, to someday be deified ultimately.

It's a step at a time but we'll surely get there, knowingly or not.

Actually, life expectancy has more than doubled over the last hundred years and will continue to increase. There is serious work being done on "immortality" research and it would undoubtedly help prolong human life beyond what is currently obtainable.

You see awon dreamers....so saying the obvious is a lack of patriotism huh? Na wa o, some of you still think lieing to yourselves about the real situation of things in the Country and Continent at large is the future for us....

See ehn, the first step of development is to admit objectively on the state of things.

We are currently implementing this on our farm located somewhere in Kogi State. We have 5 drones, 2 tractors and combine harvester capable of autonomous driving. We carry out aerial flights and map the entire farm land. From the orthophotos, we can mark out areas where we wish to plant and program this into our tractors computers. The tractors have GPS modules on them and will drive to the coordinates inputted and do all the tasks. The future is already here in Nigeria

Life expectancy doubled in the last centenary? I don't think so, that has only been reported in papers. I don't mean drugs sustainability, but actively and mentality incapacitated.

Unheard of a man who lived 130 - 150years in this information despite science exploit. Technology will end up depreciating life expectancy more

Re: Self-Driving Tractors & Drone Plant & Harvest Crops In UK by Nobody: 6:44pm On Feb 27, 2018
Nigeria has enough wealth to buy this technologies and the brains behind them. We don't necessarily need their kind of advanced mind (for now) to become a developed country. If we can buy them with our wealth, we can as well get our scientific mind trained in the process.
To me, an independence that is still dependent is pseudo, we have a lot to pick from this people; the gap is too wide.
UNFORTUNATELY, this country has a larger proportion of animals that just upgraded to human beings, we still exhibit (in large proportion) that traits of selfishness and greediness that is inherent in lower animals, we think with our stomach. See our so called leaders.

Nigeria my country grin

In a world first, U.K. researchers have successfully grown barley crops autonomously using self-driving tractors and unmanned aerial vehicles.

The goal of this research project was to ascertain if hands-free farming was possible at this juncture in the world of autonomous machinery.

In order to ensure the project’s integrity, no one was allowed to enter the 1-hectare paddock,except for the autonomous vehicles. Ultimately, the venture was successful with crops autonomously seeded, sprayed, monitored, and harvested.

The researchers considers the success a sign of things to come such as a general shift in the agricultural industry regarding technology, in addition to potentially attracting a new generation to farming.

We have been able to show the public that this is something that isn’t too far ahead in the future, and it could be happening now".

“It has also allowed us to raise the perception of agriculture to the public, so they see it as a forward-thinking industry and something that might attract new people to the industry.” 


Regarding the UAV implementation here, the drones were exclusively used to monitor crops and retrieve samples which agronomists would analyze.

They were essentially the eyes of the researchers for assessing the field using a multi-spectral camera to get imagery from the field.They would then send a little ground rover that would collect samples to conduct agronomy on.

The drone’s autopilot was also used for machinery on the ground, automating the tractors and chaser bins.


Using Nigeria as an example ,do you think new technologies like this get people out of jobs or create new ones?

latest phones
and our tradesmen are upgrading small small with aluminium cutting tools and grass cutting tools
once ppl forget about govt and buy their own tech
we will move forward faster

And crooked pastors are busy brainwashing gullible nigerians in the name of thiting grin and selling them false hopes! in the name of prosperity and miracles.

Making them believe end times is here, while their crooked pastors are building mansions and driving bentley and private jets.
