The Department of Food, Agricultural, and Biological Engineering (FABE) at The Ohio State University created the world’s largest Script Ohio on a 100-acre field just east of London’s Molly Caren Agricultural Center.
For four straight years, The Ohio State University’s Precision Agriculture program has demonstrated GPS-guided “smart planting” using multiple corn hybrids. The team brought Buckeye spirit to the field with a block “O” in 2015, Brutus Buckeye in 2016, and the university’s Primary Athletic Identitylast year. Now, Precision Agriculture has brought the Ohio State Marching Band’s famous Script Ohio to the soybean field.
This demonstration of precision agriculture is all thanks to components from Precision Planting that turn a traditional planter into a “smart planter.” From the monitor, farmers can control the plant population and hybrid type planted in coordination with a mapping of GPS coordinates.
