You’ve probably heard the expression: the numbers speak for themselves? Well, numbers or data never speak for themselves, they always have to be interpreted. On the farm these days, data from many sources can be collected and stored but you have to determine what it means and whether it makes a difference to have that data or not. If it is worthwhile collecting, interpreting and using, then how do we use that information to implement change on our operations? Join us to hear from two Manitoba growers who have tested and learned from their data. Listen as they explain what data they collect and how they use it to make a difference on their operation.

Agriculture advancement in terms of technology and data has grown exponentially in the past decade. Primary producers are now faced with large scale, multiple decisions that are coming at them faster than ever before. The idea of turning data into decisions encompasses the ideology of “moneyball” or “blackjack farming”; allowing farmers to have the answers to questions that have not been asked yet. Providing a decision matrix that takes the gut feeling out of farming and allows the data to drive the operations. The ability to create a return on investment from technology, and more specific data in its analytical form. If we already know the answer to the decision, is it really a decision?
AgraCity’s one of a kind Digital Agronomy Solution, including our advanced machine learning platform, puts us generations ahead of the competition. Partnered with the highly specialized Israel based company, Taranis, our platform allows farm customers and agronomists to monitor their acres any time, any place at the leaf-level through high-resolution sub mm in-scale imagery. This unparalleled scale of imagery enables deep learning analysis through artificial intelligence to identify crop issues and allow for better decision making at the farm gate. This presentation will introduce you to the future of digital scouting!
Artificial Intelligence is the new AI of Ag – is your farm ready? There are many applications for AI that are in use right now. FarmFemmes’ Karen and Teresa will demonstrate how Ag can help shape the development of AI tools by influencing the next generation of farm innovators. Dive into ‘What is artificial intelligence?’ and ‘How can it help my farming operation?’ with discussions about what is happening on farms today and possible innovations for tomorrow.
A quick review of late 2019 weather will be made for an assessment on soil conditions for the start of the new crop year. We will identifying the key weather patterns that will dominate the 2020 growing season. A detailed weather forecast will be presented covering the balance of winter, spring and summer to help producers plan ahead for the coming growing season.
