Agricultural sampling apparatus and system

An agricultural sampling system for performing tasks in a field comprising:

• at least one drive module having a frame, ground engaging element and a power source;
• a spectrometry device positioned in a spaced relationship to the frame to analyze agricultural samples in the field, the spectrometer device comprising:
• a wave emitter;
• a wave transmitter configured to direct the waves from the wave emitter in linewise waves to irradiate a surface of the sample;
• a dispersive element configured to receive waves arriving from the sample and deflect the arriving waves in at least two directions depending upon the wavelength of an arriving wave;
• and
• a detector configured with a plurality of detection elements disposed in at least two dimensions, the detector configured to convert the waves arriving from the dispersive element to a signal
• a computing element in communication with the spectrometry device, the computing element using the output signals of the spectrometer system to generate a georeferenced recording of output signals of the spectrometer system.
