-
Welcome to FarmTech Quest! Your mission starts in the lab. First, explore and learn about modern farming technologies. Then, apply your knowledge by helping farmers solve real-world challenges.
-
There are four tech models to explore, each located at a different station. Rotate the technology to see it from different angles and tap the hotspots to learn about its function and how it's used.
-
When you're ready, turn towards the large screen to meet the farmers you'll be advising. Each farmer will describe some of the challenges they're facing, along with their top priorities and goals, such as boosting productivity or protecting the environment.
-
You'll find out how your choice affected the farm's metrics and use that information to help with the rest of your challenges. If you get stuck, use the button in the top right corner to change settings or open instructions.
