Bonsai Robotics Showcases Amiga Max at World Ag Expo

Amiga Max is a compact yet powerful autonomous farming robot designed for commercial agricultural operations. Equipped with four-wheel drive and four-wheel steering, it offers excellent maneuverability while delivering heavy-duty capability.

The robot can tow up to 5,000 pounds, haul loads up to 2,000 pounds, and lift implements weighing up to 1,500 pounds using a Category 1 three-point hitch. It is ideally suited for bedded and row crops, as well as orchards.

The Amiga Max by Bonsai Robotics has been named one of the Top 10 winners in the 2026 World Ag Expo Top 10 New Products Contest, sponsored by the F3 Initiative.

The award-winning robot, along with other contest recipients, will be showcased February 10-12, 2026, at the World Ag Expo in Tulare, California.

Products entered in the contest were reviewed by a panel of farmers, ranchers, and agricultural industry professionals, ensuring each innovation was evaluated for real-world practicality, performance, and value on working farms.

Amiga Max can be used for spraying crops, mechanical weeding, towing equipment, transporting supplies, and assisting with light tillage or cultivation tasks. Its adaptable design allows it to operate in row crops, bedded crops, orchards, vineyards, greenhouses, and other specialty crop systems.

Built to handle uneven terrain, tight spaces, and long operating hours, the robot is also available with a hybrid electric option for extended uptime.

By combining rugged construction with intelligent automation through Bonsai Intelligence, Amiga Max offers farmers a flexible and cost-effective tool to improve efficiency, reduce labor demands, and support precision agriculture practices.

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
