Episode 279: Ag Equipment Leads with Autonomy and AI at Electronics Show

CES, the former Consumer Electronics Show, is hosted every year in Las Vegas, Nevada, attracting the latest and greatest in futuristic tech for consumers, businesses, and everyone in between. 

It was just a few years ago, in 2019, when John Deere became one of the first major ag companies to exhibit at the show, and since then agricultural equipment and tech companies have become a mainstay.

DTN Progressive Farmer’s Senior Editor Dan Miller has been attending CES for years now, and fresh off the latest event, he brings us updates from the showroom floor. We’ll learn more about what he saw and heard there — from upcoming equipment announcements to thoughts and feedback from farmers and consumers alike.

He’ll tell us about updates to John Deere’s X9 Combine, the latest in AI and autonomy from Kubota and Bobcat, and guide us through the current state of the drone market with the latest from Hylio. 

We’ll talk about productivity gains, price tags, and how shows like this create opportunities for farmers and agriculturalists to engage with the public.

Finally, we’ll hear what other stories Dan is expecting in the coming months as we head towards planting.
