One of my favorite examples is Matt Reimer's autonomous tractor, home
built and using open source in a Pixhawk controller

And the videos are mesmerizing (for me anyways):

Hello everyone,
In my home region (http://osm.org/go/etihfKs--?m=) in the midlands of
Ireland a local volunteer group has asked me to give a lecture/talk to
the local farming community (and anyone else who is interested) on the
topic of "Open Source Farming" or "Open Source Agriculture". The talk
is scheduled for the end of January 2017.
The theme of the talk is to try to reach out and engage with the
sizeable local farming community on the topics of using Open Source
Software, Open (Geo)Data, Open Hardware, etc in the management of
their agricultural business. Basically show the audience some really
good examples from agriculture around the world.
My email is to ask if any of you have links to (1) similar
presentations, lectures, webinars, videos or (2) examples of OSGeo
software use in agriculture, etc. Indeed any fun, interesting, or cool
ideas that would be of interest to an agriculture/rural audience.
My idea is that if there is enough interest in the audience I will try
to look to develop some outreach teaching using OSGeo Live for these
communities.
I will credit all contributions and shall be making my slides openly
available after the presentation. I'll report back to the mailing lists.
Greetings for the holiday season and best wishes for 2017,
