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

<p>And the videos are mesmerizing (for me anyways):<br>

</div>
<div>In my home region (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://osm.org/go/etihfKs--?m=">http://osm.org/go/etihfKs--?m=</a>)
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. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I will credit all contributions and shall be making my
slides openly available after the presentation. I'll report
back to the mailing lists. </div>
