Abstract: A method and system utilizing one or more agricultural drones for real-time monitoring, delivery and dispensing of feed in feed bunks associated with feed lots.

Abstract: A bifurcated feed material pusher blade has a main blade with a selectively positionable wing member secured to the distal end of the main blade. The bifurcated pusher blade can be formed with two main blades connected at a forward end to a centerpiece and oriented at opposing angles relative to the direction of travel during operation. The two wing members can be independently adjustable relative to the main blades by manipulation of hydraulic cylinders. The two main blade members can be pivotally connected to the centerpiece to permit angular adjustment of the two main blades relative to the direction of travel. The frame supports extending between the two opposing main blades can be telescopic, either manually or powered by hydraulic cylinders for angular adjustment on the go, to facilitate the angular adjustment of the main blades.

Abstract: A handheld moisture sensing device for use in determining the moisture content of biological material, such as animal feed. Adapted to be pressed against biological material to be analyzed, the device includes a sensor assembly, including a housing with an end structure including a grate adapted to engage the material to be examined, a near infrared (NIR) LED, an NIR light sensor, a glass mounted in the housing adjacent the light source so that light from the light source passes through the glass, a glass heater positioned adjacent the glass for heating the glass, a lens mounted in the housing adjacent the NIR sensor so that the NIR light reflected off the biological material passes through the glass and is focused by the lens onto the NIR sensor, and a controller connected to the NIR sensor and receiving a signal related to the reflected NIR light received by the NIR sensor.
