About Blue River Technology
Blue River Technology develops computer-vision and machine-learning systems for agricultural machinery. Its See & Spray technology identifies individual plants as equipment moves through a field, classifies crops and weeds at the edge, and actuates separate spray nozzles within milliseconds to apply herbicide only where needed.
The system uses 36 cameras to scan more than 2,500 square feet per second at operating speeds up to 16 miles per hour. It is integrated into John Deere sprayers for multiple crop types and covered more than five million acres in 2025. Blue River also applies perception and autonomy engineering to construction and turf equipment within Deere.
