Abstract:
Digital Agriculture is a new and growing area of research and development. Finding sufficient high quality data to drive insights from measurements and models for growers provides an exciting opportunity and enables informed, probabilistic decision making to maximize the productivity, efficiency, sustainability and profitability of their operations. The adoption of digital agriculture has grown dramatically in previous years, with over 100 million acres mapped in the Climate FieldviewTMplatform.

What have been the biggest successes in digital agriculture to date? What are the opportunities continue to evolve and drive value out of the digital agriculture arena to help farmers combat the same challenges they've faced for decades? This presentation will provide insights into the confluence of soil science, crop science and agronomy with engineering, software development, and data science to help drive smarter, more efficient agriculture.
