Greeneye's innovative technology now supports cotton crops

Expanding its reach, Greeneye Technology has tailored its Precision Spraying System to benefit U.S. cotton farmers, previously proven in corn and soy. 

The system significantly cuts herbicide use and addresses the unique challenges of cotton farming, including herbicide resistance and the need for multiple applications during long growing seasons.

Dudley Pohnert, a seasoned cotton producer, endorses the system, stating, "Upgrading our existing John Deere sprayer with the Greeneye system will give us the flexibility to spray more frequently, including at night or in dusty conditions—critical for working around the storms we often face in June. Despite spraying more often, we expect to reduce our annual herbicide use by 25-40%." 

This system is compatible with any commercial sprayer, regardless of brand. It performs both precision and broadcast spraying, increasing operational efficiency without the need for new equipment investments.

Using advanced sensors and AI, the Greeneye system processes images to precisely target weeds, sparing cotton plants and optimizing herbicide distribution. This method enhances crop safety and promotes environmental stewardship.

Nadav Bocher, CEO of Greeneye, emphasizes the system's role in modernizing cotton weed control, "offering proven cost savings, enhanced efficacy, and greater sustainability." This innovation marks a significant step forward in precision agriculture, making it a game-changer for cotton producers across the U.S.

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
