Pohnert Farms, located near White Deer in the Texas Panhandle, is a sprawling 8,000-acre family-operated farm owned and managed by Dudley Pohnert and his family. Specializing in crops like cotton, corn, milo, and wheat, the farm faces numerous challenges including intense summer heat, spring winds, and limited operational windows for spraying. In particular, cotton farming involves complex weed control due to multiple flushes and herbicide resistance.
To address these challenges, Dudley discovered Greeneye Technology at a trade show. Greeneye offers a retrofit solution that upgrades existing sprayers without recurring costs, making it an attractive option for Dudley. The system’s hardware and AI technology enable precise identification and application of herbicides, leading to significant reductions in herbicide use while maintaining efficacy. Additionally, the system’s features such as high-intensity lighting, dual-line configuration for simultaneous spraying, and the ability to spray around the clock make it a valuable asset for Dudley’s operation.
By implementing the Greeneye system, Dudley anticipates increased spraying frequency, reduced herbicide use, healthier crops, and improved yields. Beyond cost savings, Dudley sees the technology as a way to enhance sustainability and efficiency on his farm. Looking ahead, he envisions utilizing the system for other applications like fungicides, micronutrients, and crop health monitoring.
Overall, adopting Greeneye Technology represents a significant step towards a more sustainable and profitable future for Pohnert Farms, providing Dudley with the tools to combat weed resistance and optimize resource utilization.
