My New Story in AgTech and maybe yours...
This week is little different and not my normal talk, but please watch/listen to the video below or within all major podcast places as tradition! You'll get it I feel, plus it's easier to do it this way. I'm reformatting my podcasts and newsletter...again... Hang with me, it's an evolution!
AgTech Automatoes: Domo Arigoto Mr. Roboto
Robots and automation are growing and growing in Ag. I saw some of that this last week and I'll say I'm a little more optimistic in their abilities. At the same time, mixed with AI there are some dire realities to think through as well. More on this to say the least...
AgTech vs Big Tech
We've created so many things that are specific to Ag, but at the same time it uses similar processes to the largest tech companies out there that most use. Should we be building things in our own realm as much or should we use what they have and build with it? More on this.
Can't we all just get along?
In times of uncertainty, sometimes the best thing one can do is call someone up and just talk and figure out a way to help each other. That's what AgTech needs to do right now and it works. I've experienced it. So, that's what I'm talking about this week.
AgTech just doesn't work everywhere
While there are countless options and solutions out there that one can use on a farm, some just don't. Some things just don't work well together either or in certain areas due to the types of crops and even lay of the land. I discuss more on this.
The AgTech Idiot Index
I talk about something Elon came up with (I think) called the Idiot Index. It's the cost the make a product divided by the cost of the raw materials to make it. Basically the higher the ratio the more opportunity exists for value to shift things. AgTech is high right now, but it's changing too. More...
TechHub Live Review: 2025 and Barely Alive
It's pretty much in the title, but this is one of the big AgTech shows of the year and it's where I known the most people. Here is my highlights and thoughts from the show.
OpenFMIS, a new concept in Agriculture
In this episode, I finally lay out what I’ve been hinting at—a new direction built from something very real. After 30 years in AgTech, growing up inside it, building it, watching where it works and where it fails, I’ve decided to take a copy of our Satshot GIS engine and turn it into something new. ...
AI is missing something in Ag
We can talk and talk about all the great and weird things AI can do in Agriculture and yes it's real and not going away, but there is also a lot more to it then just what it is capable of doing. We have to trust it and feel comfortable using it much like the internet itself. There is more emotion ti...
Mowing your Lawn AgTech Style: Would you?
We talk about all this tech in the field farmers should use, but would you? Think of all this stuff but for yourself mowing your law. Yeah, it's not that simple is it now...
Vaporware in Ag: Chasing a Dream
We often all have great ideas to solve big problems and Ag in no different. When we bridge tech in the mix it gets fun as you can fake it make it sort of a lot easier than say making a tractor. Well, let's talk about it then...
AgTech took the Human out of Farming
The title says most of it, but more or less farming is about the senses and it doesn't make sense to most farmers using software the way it's been built. Maybe we need to talk to it, get it to react to the way Ag thinks and acts. Maybe GenAI is the answer. Anyway, more on that here.
