Dave Oberting's company, Questr Automation, aims to address the lack of local skilled technicians needed for agtech in rural West Virginia by launching an apprenticeship programme. This programme, developed with local colleges, seeks to train residents as farm automation technicians, thus facilitating the adoption of high-tech solutions in farming. Despite the potential to save farmers time and costs, funding remains a challenge, with Questr seeking additional investment and public funding to support the initiative. The success of this programme could serve as a model for addressing the skilled labour shortage in agriculture globally.
