In this roundtable discussion, farmers and a robotics manufacturer will share their experiences integrating robotic and autonomous technologies into agricultural practices. They will discuss the efficiency gains achieved through these innovations, including concrete examples of return on investment (ROI) calculations. Participants will also learn about Western Growers Economic Templates, which assist growers in understanding the financial aspects of automation solutions within their operations.
