JD bought out Blue River Tech for a two hundred plus million. They shuttered their lettuce weeding robots and use it for cotton now...the last I heard.

I get it. But I don’t know why they had control the platform for specific crops.

My guess is that since BRT tech is ‘see and spray’, there will be a tie up with precision herbicide application with Bayer(née Monsanto) products.

Remember..afterall..John Deere wanted to buy Climate and Monsanto before DoJ blocked it with anti trust objections.
