Irrigation Maps - How Can We Do More With Less?

AI is used in agriculture to precisely target weeds and optimize irrigation practices. It’s also being used in ways you might not expect, like for tracking the health of cow pastures—from space. We travel from test farms to orchards in the first of a two-part series on agriculture, AI, and satellites. 

We Meet: 

Greg Brickner, Veterinarian and grazing specialist at Organic Valley

Geoff Klein, irrigation manager of Bullseye Farms

John Bourne, SVP Ceres Imaging

Deanna Kovar, VP of Production and Precision Ag Production Systems at John Deere

Jahmy Hindman, CTO at John Deere
