Abalimi bamukela ngokushesha ukunemba okusekelwe kumakhameraubuchwepheshe bokufafaza, kanti ubuchwepheshe bukaJohn Deere be-See & Spray bulungele omunye unyaka wokukhula okusheshayo ngo-2025. UJosh Rudd uchazele uMaisie Carter we-Oklahoma Farm Report ukuthi lolu hlelo seluvele lusetshenziswa kabanzi kulo lonke elaseNyakatho Melika, “kunemishini ye-See & Spray engaphezu kuka-1,000 esebenza,” ehlanganisa “amahektha angaphezu kwezigidi ezi-5,” aphawula ukuthi “inkulu kunesifundazwe saseNew Jersey.” Naphezu kwezimvula ezinkulu zasentwasahlobo ezaholela ekwandeni kokhula, uRudd uthe abalimi basalondoloza “cishe amaphesenti angama-50” ekusetshenzisweni kokubulala ukhula—okulingana “nokonga cishe amalitha ayizigidi ezingama-30 engxube yokubulala ukhula kulo nyaka.”
URad ugcizelele ukuthi ukonga izindleko kuyingxenye nje yenani lakho. Uthe abalimi abaningi abacabanga kusengaphambili basebenzisa i-See & Spray ukunciphisa izindleko zokufaka, “betshala kabusha lokho konga kumaphrojekthi okuthuthukisa ukulawulwa kokhula noma ukuthuthukiswa kwebhange lembewu.” Wanezela ngokuthi okuhlaba umxhwele nakakhulu ukwanda okukhulu kwesivuno okufinyelelwe ngalobu buchwepheshe: “Siyaqhubeka nokubona… ukwanda okumaphakathi kwama-bushel amabili ngehektha, lapho isivuno sesoya sikhuphuka ngama-bushel angu-4.8 ngehektha.” Wachaza ukuthi ukunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kokubulala ukhula okungadingekile ezitshalweni “sekuvele kuletha inzuzo yesivuno esilinganisekayo, sangempela kulo nyaka.”
Ubuchwepheshe buzothuthukiswa ngokwengeziwe ngo-2025 ngesibuyekezo sesofthiwe samahhala esihlose ukwandisa isivinini, ukwandisa ukuhambisana kwezitshalo, kanye nokuthuthukisa ukusebenza. URad ugcizelele ukuthuthukiswa okuthathu: umkhawulo wokuphakama okuphezulu "kokufafaza amahlamvu"; isivinini esiphezulu sokusebenza, "kusukela ku-12 mph kuya ku-15 mph"; kanye nesikhala esincane esincane semigqa, manje esivumela "isikhala semigqa engu-20-intshi" yommbila. Uthe lezi zibuyekezo eziqhubekayo zibonisa ukuthi i-See & Spray "izoqhubeka ithuthuka ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ... unyaka nonyaka, ithuthukisa amakhono ayo."
Uma sibheka phambili, igalelo labalimi lihlala libalulekile ekuthuthukisweni kwezinhlelo zokufafaza “ngokuqapha” zesizukulwane esilandelayo. URad uthi kuyo yonke imibukiso emikhulu yezolimo, ukhomba “izinkinga ezintsha eziyi-10-15 okudingeka sigxile kuzo.” Abalimi bafuna uhlelo lwandiswe ukuze lumboze izitshalo ezifana nokolweni, i-canola, i-flax, ibhali, amantongomane, ama-beetroot, namazambane, kanye namakhamera ukuze anikeze okungaphezu nje kokuthola ukhula. “Bafuna ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nempilo iyonke yesitshalo… isibonelo, ingozi yezinambuzane, izifo ezingaba khona, noma ukutheleleka ngefungus,” ugcizelela, ephawula ukuthi ukunikeza ulwazi oluwusizo lwesizini kuyindawo ebalulekile yentuthuko.
URad uphinde wakhuluma ngemibono engalungile evamile mayelana nobuchwepheshe bokufafaza obusebenzisa ikhamera. Uthe abanye abalimi basakholelwa esisho esithi “isithombe sibaluleke kakhulu,” ikakhulukazi ngemva kokufunda ukuthi uhlelo olusebenza ngesivinini esingu-15 mph lungabona “ukhula oluncane njenge-intshi eyodwa.” Utuse ukuba khona ezinsukwini zasensimini nokuzibonela mathupha. Kubalimi abacabangela lobu buchwepheshe, uRad unikeze iseluleko esibalulekile: “Uma unesithakazelo ‘sokufafaza ngombono,’ udinga ukuhlela kusenesikhathi.” Ugcizelele ukuthi abalimi kufanele bafake lobu buchwepheshe ezingxoxweni zabo zokuphatha ubusika ukuze baqonde ukuthi “lokhu konga kuzoshintsha hhayi kuphela imikhiqizo esiyisebenzisayo… kodwa futhi nenani esilisebenzisayo,” ngaleyo ndlela bandise imbuyiselo yabo ekutshalweni kwezimali ngesizini ezayo.
