50% Less Herbicide Use with Drone AI

RA

Roberto Aguilar

Farm Operations Manager

Running 2,000 acres of corn and soy, our herbicide costs were spiraling. Blue River Technology's weed-detection AI, mounted on our John Deere drones, changed everything. The system identifies individual weeds vs. crops with 95% accuracy and spot-treats only the weeds. We've cut herbicide use by 50%, which means lower costs AND better soil health. John Deere's Operations Center AI now also predicts optimal harvest windows.
