AI

A University of Idaho researcher who fought wildfires is now using drones and AI to help predict how fires will spread and where they'll hit hardest.

Grain storage just got a technological upgrade. AI-powered cameras are now watching for insects around the clock, sending real-time alerts so farmers can catch infestations early and use only the pesticides they actually need.

Farm confidence is climbing. Purdue's latest agriculture barometer shows producers feeling more optimistic about their financial prospects and seeing new opportunities in export markets.

The head of the American Farm Bureau stopped by a University of Florida research center where AI is being tested in tomato fields — and the results are already changing how growers think about herbicide.

A network of cameras using artificial intelligence is now watching for smoke across BLM lands in Oregon and Washington — and fire chiefs say catching a fire in its first minutes makes all the difference.

Oregon voters could see a major animal rights measure on the fall ballot this November — one that would extend legal protections to farm animals, wildlife, and research animals, reshaping how ranching and hunting operate statewide.

Taranis drones photograph every acre of a farm at leaf level, and by the next morning, agricultural advisors already have AI-generated recommendations waiting for them based on what was found.

Imagine a future where farmers use AI to spot weeds from a distance, cutting herbicide use by up to 70%.

It’s fascinating how the rise of AI is making us appreciate skilled trades even more, especially those hands-on jobs that just can’t be automated.

Imagine a world where getting a loan as a farmer feels like a breeze. Recent tech changes are making that dream a reality.
