Accurate predictions are crucial in #farming. One wrong decision could be costly, and in times of market volatility, there is no room for error. #BigData is vital in ensuring growers can farm confidently and maximize yield. precisionag.com/digital-farmin…

.Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) adapted a telepresence #robot into a disinfecting tool for the The Greater Boston Food Bank. These “next-gen Roombas” are a case study in adapting to the #COVID19 by modifying existing tech. Great work! tcrn.ch/3eMEQAD

Carbon #farming – especially coupled with #agtech could transform the #agriculture industry so that farmers can work alongside the environment, not against it. bit.ly/2YLuV8P

Ever seen a #drone swarm? Thankfully they’re not as frightening as they sound. One swarm of 3 drones can cover 60 acres per hour, saving time & money spent on scouting. bit.ly/2VVgSvE

Robots of all shapes and sizes are becoming available, and now they're highly customizable, too. Sphero's new RVR robot might even have some field functionality. Who wants to be the first to try it? x.com/mashable/statu…

Cool to see #VerticalFarming startup Kalera scaling at such a rapid rate, especially as they share our farmer first mantra. This farming trend could drive more locally-sourced food for consumers across the U.S. agfundernews.com/kalera-that-yo…

Happy to finally share what I've been working on. It's a little different approach than most traditional ag companies - achieving sustainability through profitability - not just for the land but also for our farmers and ranchers and their family legacy. tinyurl.com/7prccavn

Preserving our rural American way of life is good for all of us, and we're happy to be working with New Founding (Old) with a shared purpose to take the Landtrust - The Recreation Access Network platform to even more landowners. This means more outdoor experiences for all of us to enjoy and improved

More and more landowners are partnering with LandTrust to add recreation revenue to their operation. That means revenue for landowners, management for wildlife, and access for outdoorsmen. It's a win-win-win.
