Студент из Южной Дакоты создал компанию по автоматическому управлению тракторами

Davis Thompson started building auto steer units for tractors in his bedroom while a student at South Dakota State University in Brookings. That led to founding Starr Guidance, a company that provides low-cost alternative for farmers who want to upgrade their tractors to take advantage of precision agriculture. The technology saves money by precisely applying inputs on fields and makes farming easier. In a few short months, Thompson has sold units to farmers in 12 states.
