Western Growers will update its plans to automate specialty-crop harvests in the West with a pair of rollouts at the World Ag Expo.

The produce growers' group will have a booth at the in-person expo Feb. 8-10 in Tulare, Calif., and will share what Vice President of Innovation Walt Duflock is calling "some big news":

The announcements will come a year after Western Growers held a hybrid in-person and virtual event at the International Agri-Center to launch an ambitious Global Harvest Automation Initiative, in which dozens of international partners will seek to automate 50% of harvests over the next 10 years.
