“Autonomous Agricultural Machines – Vision and Reality,”Rich Konrath VP & General Counsel CNH Industrial America
The agricultural industry is changing rapidly. Global population, crop yields and farm consolidations are increasing while skilled labor and use of chemicals in farming are decreasing. These changes are driving significant technological developments in the agricultural industry. Autonomous agricultural machines are the future, and CNH Industrial is at the technology forefront. This presentation will share CNH Industrial’s vision for autonomous agricultural machines and their ground-breaking impact upon the future of farming. *Picture accessed 4/4/19 "https://www.bizjournals.com/milwaukee/news/2018/09/21/richard-konrath-top-corporate-counsel-best.html"
