AI-Assisted Agronomy

This is Tim Hammerich of the Ag Information Network with your Farm of the Future Report.

With the amount of data and detailed information we can glean from a farm with technology, the job of an agronomist is becoming more and more complicated. It just so happens that making sense out of large datasets is exactly what artificial intelligence is suited to do. Advancing Eco Agriculture is one of the companies developing an AI agronomist. Founder John Kempf says they created FieldLark AI to help make sense of detailed agronomic information.

Kempf… “ And so we now, as we start looking at incorporating DNA sequencing and measuring all these different microbiome parameters of what's happening within a plant and around a plant, we get this influx of data and all these different factors that we need to take into consideration when making agronomic recommendations. And in a sense, we're moving away from the easy button. It's becoming more complex. It's more complicated. There's more factors involved. And the challenge to do that well is to be a really good agronomist around what that body of knowledge just requires a depth of information and breadth of information and knowledge and training. The other aspect is in today's world of rapidly evolving research, it's virtually impossible to keep up.”
