Meet Quint Pottinger, Kentucky farmer who uses autonomous tractors to save his 245-year-old family farm

Meet Quint Pottinger, an eighth-generation Kentucky farmer turning to autonomous tractors to protect his family’s 245-year-old farm. After three years of drought reduced crop yields to 100-130 bushels per acre, technology is helping the family plant 800 acres of crops and cover crops, offering new hope for the farm’s future while reducing labour demands.
