I left my career as an agronomist 25 years ago. That was around 8 years into the precision ag revolution. It was great to view this video, we only dreamed of this sort of control while planting back then. Everything was manual and getting everything calibrated was a dusty job for the farmer, setting something climbing back into the tractor, going a couple of hundred feet and then getting out to make another change.
Once you got everything dialed in you rarely made many changes, The ability to change field by field or even in a field to adopt to different soil types is nothing short of amazing. Lots of times an individual row would stop planting and you wouldn't notice.
I worked a lot with satellite infrared photos and it wasn't uncommon to look at a field and see an entire row missing or planted at a half rate. I predict in time though a lot of these screens will become less important as your AI agent will be making all these sorts of adjustments for you.
