Spur Ventures strengthens Nebraska’s ag tech ecosystem

Four men stand beneath a blue canopy at an outdoor demonstration, discussing two robotic ground vehicles positioned on the grass in front of them. One man gestures toward the equipment while the others observe. The vehicles feature exposed mechanical components, wheels or tracks, sensors, and electronic hardware. Additional equipment rests on a nearby table, with a paved runway or test area, parked vehicles, and open fields visible in the background.
