The Chicago Tribune in 1961, ran a series of articles on the world of tomorrow.

Tortuga AgTech aims to build a healthier society and a thriving planet through smarter farming and helps farms be more resilient, sustainable, and successful with technology. In our interview, Eric shares insights on how these robotics work, robotic harvesting challenges, and the pros and cons of using robots instead of manual labor.
