Borgeby Fältdagar is an agricultural fair in the south of Sweden. A down-to-earth, specialised fair with a clear focus on the professional farmer and the meeting place for everyone who has agriculture as their main interest and occupation.
This year, the fair attracted almost 19 900 visitors and 415 exhibitors over two days in the end of June. During the fair, we had the opportunity to talk about the Oper8 project directly with our target audience, resulting in many interesting and fruitful discussions and conversations. There was also some time to spend on visiting other stands and looking for interesting new products or services within our area.
Examples of these were automated spot-spraying using a camera atteched to the tractor’s roof presented by PerPlant (www.perplant.ai) and Farmdroid that are about to launch a service with spot spraying as an alternative to their mechanical weeding using robots. Innovative spraying solutions were also demonstrated, among these Cultiwise solution for variable rate applications of herbicides using prescription maps produced using drone imagery (www.cultiwise.com).
