Agriculture and technology have always gone hand in hand.  The next era of technology and agriculture is moving into places like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and it’s going to touch all industry sectors – from production to processing, all the way to consumption. This case study takes a snapshot of the world of AI – from both the critic and supporter perspective – and how its applications continue to transform the agriculture industry.
 
Join Mike Garrison and Joel Erb, from Padilla, as they delve into this subject. Key points they’ll address: 

• AI is abstract and viewed by many as “evil.” But when utilized and managed correctly, AI provides insights that agriculture needs to produce more, and create trust between a farmer and a consumer.
• Companies must understand the value of trust before investing heavily into AI to manage consumer data.
• It’s not whether but when to apply AI, and how to apply it.

In ‘Media Training Tips and Tricks,’ two ex-television reporters, turned agri-marketers, will walk you through the basics of preparing for television and print interviews.
