** Well, I feel the description of this video describes it quite well haha, but yes, I am out rockpicking in the snow NOT because I need RU-vid footage, but because that's just how Mike is in everyday life. 🤣🤷
** For every one day of work done now, is one less day of work in the spring. - except the big hill climb, that was just plain old fun 😉😂

Mike you "ROCK"!!!!! When I grew up on the Farm we also used a Degelman rock picker as well but we one upped you Mike and had a 930 as our designated Rock Picking tractor.

Within a few years drones will fly over the field in a grid pattern with GPS and make images with GPS-location and collect data for rockpicking. You will be able to sort sizes which you want to pick or not, camera sofware can select sizes and shapes already, ... Agrifac sprayers have already the option of - weed recognition - by camera on their sprayers to spray on selected spots in the field.

I made a calculation. Some might think, that a drone-solution ( like Dronedeploy) to keep track of rocks, crops and stuff on Mikes farm would be a nobrainer, when we see you wizzing around. But with a search pattern with a width of 100 meters (approx 300 ft) it would have to cover around 2100 km (approx 1400 miles). But it could also be tripple that number. With a speed of 20 km/h. Aint got time for that sh**
