From precision farming techniques using GPS-guided tractors to the use of drones for crop monitoring, technology is transforming how farmers manage their land. Farmers saving 30% on fertilizer costs and boosting crop yields by up to 10% are not uncommon with these insights.

His first batch of livestock included 25 chickens he processed for his family. I loved the process of moving the tractor, getting them food and water and raising them,” he says. When it’s time to process the birds, he uses the whole animal, including the feet, bones and organs—leaving nothing to be sent to the landfill.

How AI in Agriculture Has Already Changed Us Even before self-driving cars hit the consumer market, farmers were plowing fields with GPS-guided tractors. In the mid-1990s, John Deere began using GPS technology for precision agriculture, combining GPS location data with sensor readings to determine crop yield.

As contamination rose, crop yields fell by 15 percent. And along with redesigning plastics to “actually be recyclable,” improved reuse and recycling processes and investment in cleanups are crucial to meeting those goals, she says. Rodale has even designed an add-on device for tractors, making the blueprint publicly available.)

This includes recording weather patterns, soil conditions, irrigation practices, crop yields, and any other relevant metrics. As weather patterns become increasingly unpredictable, it's more challenging to plan crop rotations, planting, irrigation, and other tasks that depend heavily on the weather.

However, he didn’t want to see acres of wild blueberries destroyed in the process of constructing a solar array. For example, an ATV is now used for any spray applications and a walk behind harvester will be used under the panels instead of tractor-pulled harvest equipment.

There are still a lot of questions that science is working out—like how exactly the whole process works and what sort of impact different soil microbes have, but there does seem to be potential in carbon farming for helping mitigate climate change. More rocking cover crops—in 2014, this field only grew rye that reached my knee.
