For years farmers have been hauling millions of tons of grain and hauling large equipment without a simple way to monitor grain bins and blind spots. Technology has skyrocketed in the agriculture industry to the point where farmers can literally put a combine on "autopilot" and monitor crop yields in real-time. That same yield data can be downloaded and used when fertilizing the following spring allowing for additional fertilizer in low yield acreage and less where the soil was producing a good crop. There is no doubt that this technology has saved farmers thousands and has applied a true science to what was once a one size fits all type of application.
Rear view cameras can also be used to save a farmer time and money. Though these cameras have been around for several years, they are just starting to make their way into the farm community in the last couple years. Small cameras can be placed in strategic locations and allow farmers to monitor several places at one time without having to stop the machine and get out of the seat for a visual inspection. Some examples of camera applications include grain cart cameras, which are popular as it is common for grain to be wasted as it overflows or loaded overweight to where some has to be dumped to be road legal. Other great uses are combine cameras in the hopper, rear of the combine, end of the auger. Grain drill cameras can be used to ensure that the seed drops are not plugged, or a camera placed at the rear of the drill for rear vision with the drill folded for transportation.
Horse farmers can also take advantage of the benefits by using livestock trailer cameras to monitor animals in transit. In fact, new cameras are available with built in microphones so that the sound inside the trailer can also be monitored inside the cab of the truck!
Many new combines and tractors are shipping with factory cameras but they are very simple to add to any machine or tractor.
