With twenty years previous experience as an agronomist I can tell you that this article is right on. You want to know cropping ag's biggest problem? Too much data. Farmers are collecting all sorts of data - soil samples, weather station data, aerial infrared photos and yield monitor data to name a few. But there are few tools that give actionable information from all that data. Actionable in prescribing something that results in a positive ROI. Now as an agronomist who soil sampled, walked the field multiple times every year and sometimes even rode the combine with the farmer I was able to do that - sometimes. Someday it will happen but it's my opinion that AI is a long, long way from performing that job. But I do hope I live to see it.
