Farming Side Project to Startup

Dylan Glass is a Conestoga computer science student and Venture Lab for Tech (VL4T) client who’s developing a semi-autonomous auto-steering system for heavy farm equipment.

The idea came to Dylan from his time working on a farm and he joined VL4T to help turn the idea into reality.
