Carbon Robotics, an agricultural robotics company based in Seattle, Wash., this week unveiled its 2022 LaserWeeder implement, an autonomous, laserweeding pull-behind robot that seamlessly attaches to the back of tractors. 

For the fourth quarter, CNH reported consolidated revenues of $9.1 billion, up 7% vs. the fourth quarter of 2020. Agriculture net sales for the quarter were up just over 21% to about $4.2 billion.

Net sales for the full year of 2021 were approximately $11.1 billion, which is an increase of approximately 21.7% compared to 2020. 

The Low Carbon Agriculture Show will give European farmers and dealers a view of the future with a steep rise in autonomous tractors and robots on farms, and more variation in machinery designed for specific purposes. The machines will be fueled by a mix of renewable electricity (batteries), hydrogen and biomethane. 

A ceremonial opening of the show begins with awards for the Top-10 New Products Winners and “We Believe in Growing” scholarship winners, sponsored by E.M. Tharp.

The AGCO Agriculture Foundation (AAF), Duluth, Ga., announced on Feb. 3 a $50,000 donation to the Kentucky Agriculture Disaster Relief Program, a joint effort of the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, the Kentucky Farm Bureau Education Foundation and the Kentucky Center for Agriculture and Rural Development (KCARD).
