Precision Agriculture Systems Expand Local Field Operations
Veblen, SD · August 14, 2026
Friday morning brings a gentle ease to the schedule, with overcast skies offering a pleasant backdrop for early outdoor plans. Today sets a smooth, unhurried stride into the weekend.
The Lead
Intellifarms Northern Division, headquartered down in Britton, has partnered with Greeneye Technology to bring advanced AI-driven targeted spraying systems to producers across Marshall County. For area growers navigating late-summer crop management, the technology retrofits existing spray rigs with dual-tank precision systems that identify individual weeds in real time.
By spot-applying non-residual herbicides only where needed while broadcasting residual coverage simultaneously, the system can reduce chemical use by up to ninety percent. Local adoption offers county farmers an accessible way to cut input costs and minimize chemical runoff without purchasing entirely new machinery. Local technical support and field demonstrations are scheduled to roll out through the regional hub in the coming weeks as producers prepare for post-harvest land preparation.
