We wrap up this special road edition of Conservation Ag Update with the Video of the Week. We’re at the Innovation Day and when you think about innovation in ag, AI comes to mind. Robert Saik, founder of T1 Technology Corp., knows a thing or two about AI. I caught up with him at the visorPRO AI workshop in Rosemont, Ill., the other day and asked him about some of the latest AI trends and how they’ll affect no-tillers.

“If you could harness all the uses of data coming off a farming operation, so think weather stations, soil moisture probes, remote sensing, telematics, and bring that all together to make better information available to a farmer, that would make the prediction better. Decision has two sides. It has prediction and judgement. How can we leverage AI to make better decisions? Give me more information into a centralized base. Let me extract those data points more rapidly and more accurately, therefore I will make a better decision as a farmer as to what to do. I get excited about this because when you think about all the legacy information that’s available agronomically for farmers from years and years of soil test data, years and years of agronomic recommendations, years and years of yield data, the zone data, the weather data, can you imagine pulling all that together to do regression analysis so that in this year when these conditions are going on and say ‘well yeah that’s happened 3 times historically in the period of our farm and this is what happened and this is what we should do.’ That’s what I get excited about with AI in farming.”

That’ll conclude this road edition of Conservation Ag Update from the Kinze Innovation Center. We’ll have much more from this event in the coming days on No-TillFarmer.com.
