See how Terra Gold Farms uses Carbon ATK, our autonomous tractor kit, to do ground preparation more efficiently and autonomously—day and night. The result: increased productivity, reduced downtime, and better use of skilled workers across the farm.
My name is Austin Ochoa with Terra Gold Farms. I'm the chief operating officer. I'm the fifth generation in the family. We grow potatoes, onions, sweet corn, dry edible beans, grass seed, and wheat. We farm here primarily in Othello, WA, the heart of the Columbia Basin. And we are a conventional farm. So I'm using Carbon ATK with the turbo Max right now. You know, we're using it for primary tillage, but I think we could also use it for cultivation, such as dammer diking, harrowing. We could all these for some more secondary tillage such as ripping, chisel chopping. And I'd like to see, you know, how things progress here over the next year or so and see if we could use it for planting as well. The main reason that I went with Carbon ATK is the support system that we have here locally if we ever had. Any problems and these guys are on it, they're within an hour away and they can usually get the problem resolved within an hour or so after they show up. One thing that I really like is that they have the option to remote control the tractor. So without having to have someone go out and reset the tractor and move it out of the way of an obstacle, someone can actually take over control of the tractor and move around that obstacle or pick up the implement, you know, kind of move up over a gravel Rd. onto the next field. I think that that's one of the bigger things that made me want to go with. The Carbon ATK. When we get a tractor to the field, I'll notify the remote operations and Control Center that we're moving to this field. This is the desired heading that I want to work it in. They'll create a path plan for that field where it has a desired heading. It has the geofence boundary for that field, and it also has each obstacle within the field marked so that they can drive around each one of those obstacles. Once our initial checklist is ready to go, we flip the switch over to autonomy, notify the Remote Operation and Control Center, and they're able to take off and let the tractor run autonomously. My involvement with ATK is very minimal. We show up, turn on the tractor, make sure it's fueled up, bearings are greased to implement, is in good working order. Once all of our initial checks are done, we flip the switch for autonomy, let the Remote Operating and Command Center know that it's ready to go and they fire up and they take off and they inform me if there's any problems. But for the most part it's been running on its own. So Carbon ATK has helped me be more efficient by utilizing my tractor operators in other areas of the farm. They're able to go out and work in irrigation, help with fertilizer and chemical applications, work in the shop, that type of stuff. You know, we're able to utilize these tractors 24/7, so they're able to fire up in the morning, take off and it just goes. You'll have to worry about overtime hours, don't have to worry about people calling and sick. You know, we're able to actually utilize one tractor. Twice as much as what we were able to before because we are able to run 24/7. Next year you know, I plan on adding a few more to do some more aggressive type tillage as well as dammer diking cultivation in potatoes and sweet corn. ATK has been very reliable. There's been very little intervention from Terra Gold Farms and if there is any intervention, it's just kind of wear and tear parts on the implement. So I think that this technology is one of the biggest innovations that we've had in AG since the implementation of GPS back in the day. You know, it's going to be a game changer for the industry.

#R4 is an all-new concept — there is no cab, it has been designed fresh from the ground up, yet it is built entirely on our in-house foundation and using our expertise in electronics, powertrains, precision tech, and more. It’s the newest member of our product family, joining our lineup alongside tractors, grape harvesters, and other machines. What makes it even more powerful is that it leverages the same autonomous tech stack and components we’ve developed for our cash crop and row crop platforms, showing the scalability and flexibility of our solutions. It fits right into our full product offering, sharing systems such as FieldOps and the same autonomy platform used across both cash crop and specialty machines. This makes it highly flexible, easy to upgrade, and well-supported for the future.” Thierry Le Briquer Grape, Olive & Coffee Global Manager at #NewHolland#FarmingInnovation#AgTech
In Upper Austria, long hours on the tractor meant fatigue, wasted fuel, and missed rows — until farmers like Anton Andessner and Florian Berrer started using the #Sveaverken#F200 Auto Steer System, supported by #BLICKWINKEL Digital Service.
Anton’s tractors now work seamlessly together, following each other automatically and covering every row with precision. Florian, initially skeptical, quickly noticed the difference: smooth autosteering on slopes and uneven terrain, less overlap, and significant time saved on every pass.
Why Austrian farmers choose Sveaverken F200 Auto Steer System:
✅ ±2.5 cm autosteering accuracy, even on slopes up to 20°
✅ Smart path planning for every part of the field
✅ Intuitive terminal with real-time positioning and #ISOBUS control
✅ Durable components built for everyday farm work
With the F200, farmers work smarter, faster, and more efficiently.

Autonomous Harvest: The Ultimate Guide to the 2025 Farm Revolution
Autonomous Harvest: Your Farm Is Obsolete (If You Ignore This)
The robots aren't coming; they're already in the field. This is a survival guide for the biggest agricultural shift in 100 years. Adapt or be replaced.
By AgTech Expert Analyst | Last Updated: September 25, 2025
There's a problem rotting in the fields of America's heartland, and it's costing farmers everything. It isn't drought or blight, but a quiet, catastrophic labor shortage that is leaving billions of dollars worth of produce unharvested. For generations, farming has relied on human hands, but the workers are gone. This crisis is forcing a technological reckoning that is unfolding right now, in real-time: the autonomous harvest. This isn't a futuristic dream; it's a multi-billion dollar reality, and the farmers who fail to understand this tectonic shift will become a footnote in history.
The numbers are staggering. According to a report from the American Farm Bureau ...
