Tom Carroll, Massey-Harris Engineer: Building a Better Harvester

Canadian War Museum

In 1936, Tom Carroll and a team of researchers with Massey-Harris Canada (now Massey Ferguson) in Ontario began work on a revolutionary new combine harvester. Earlier versions of the combine used horse or tractor power to pull the machine through the fields. The new and affordable combine was self-propelled, reducing the cost of fuel and labour needed to bring in a harvest. With the Second World War on the horizon, the MH-20 was rushed into production. The first self-propelled Massey-Harris

GreenCropTracker: Deriving crop information from digital photography

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada scientists have developed a tool to help create better models for simulating crop growth and obtaining physical descriptors of agricultural crops. GreenCropTracker is a software tool that can be used to derive crop information from a simple digital photo taken over a crop canopy in agricultural fields. The resulting model predictions help growers understand what happens in the field so they can manage production more efficiently. Drs. Elizabeth Pattey and Jiangui
