CHENEY, Kan. (AP) – For years, Kansas farmer Clint Brauer has struggled with keeping weeds out of his row crops. Along with keeping living roots in the ground, organic practices and no-till methods, he tried crimping but the pigweeds just grew taller.
Three years ago, Brauer, an ex-California-based executive who farms in Haven and Cheney, decided to implement a wild plan, using robots to behead weeds. I realized there was no great way to get the weeds out at scale without chemicals, Brauer said. I needed to invent one.
He started Greenfield Robotics.
Before chemicals replaced them, workers pulled weeds from the farm. Greenfield Robotics puts the workers back in the field with a new kind of worker a mechanized one, The Hutchinson News reports.
