DAAHA is committed to supporting local agriculture through education and community. Thanks to generous donor support, we've been able to develop this educational breakfast series for Illinois farmers.
You've heard about Artificial Intelligence on the news, but what does it actually mean for your operation? While tech companies race to develop AI, farmers are asking practical questions:
KEY QUESTIONS WE WILL ADDRESS:
Will this help me make better decisions?
Understanding AI's decision-support capabilities
What's realistic for my operation?
Honest discussion about practical applications
Can it improve my efficiency?
Real examples of time and resource savings
Our Panel Discussion
From Data to Dirt: How is AI Transforming On-Farm Decisions?
Synopsis generated using AI: Artificial intelligence is giving farmers a powerful new tool to make smarter, more timely growing decisions. By analyzing weather patterns, soil conditions, satellite imagery, and historical yield data, AI can help producers determine when to plant, how much to apply, where variability exists within a field, and when to intervene to protect crop health. Rather than replacing farmer expertise, AI enhances it—turning complex data into clear, actionable insights that reduce risk, improve yields, and support long-term stewardship of the land. This session explores practical, real-world ways farmers are using AI today to make informed decisions from planting through harvest.What do farmers need to know? What is the Promise of AI? What needs to happen to close the education gap and knowledge gap for those who study agronomy without farm experience, vs. those who grew up working on a farm. How can AI address certain challenges and what are the risks of using AI?
