Agricultural System Engineering
Cost pressure has an increasing impact on field work in the technology of which over half a billion Swiss francs are invested annually. The development of larger farming units, the co-operation between farms and the use of agricultural contractors all play an increasingly important role. It is especially in plant production that appropriate technical solutions are called for.
