We often all have great ideas to solve big problems and Ag in no different. When we bridge tech in the mix it gets fun as you can fake it make it sort of a lot easier than say making a tractor. Well, let's talk about it then...
The title says most of it, but more or less farming is about the senses and it doesn't make sense to most farmers using software the way it's been built. Maybe we need to talk to it, get it to react to the way Ag thinks and acts. Maybe GenAI is the answer. Anyway, more on that here.
There’s this constant tension building between the people who use AgTech stuff and the people who build it. Farmers versus programmers. Agronomists versus developers. Call it what you want—but it’s everywhere now, and it’s getting worse. I dive into that and a little more in this episode.
In this episode, I talk through the chaos and realities of AgTech during the busy season and where all the flashy features and promises don’t mean a thing if the tools don’t actually work when farmers need them most. I dig into why data resolution often gets oversold, especially when your equipment can’t even apply changes at that scale, and how we keep falling into the trap of complexity over practicality.
This week I talk through a write up Ben Voss did about what's going on with tech entrenched in OEM Ag Machinery and how that relates to the AgTech software world with FMIS. Also, another pickup ride which I think I'm staying with. Enjoy!
Alright, so this one’s a bit of a mobile ramble—I’m in the pickup, no dogs, just rolling through the wind and rain, thinking out loud about how tech is driving equipment decisions more than the machines themselves. I talk about how OEMs are fumbling or thriving based on how seamless their tech works, and how farmers—especially bigger ones—are buying based on that. But I also dig into why smaller farms aren't jumping on the robot ba...
Well some big government officials and politicians are in ND to talk about Ag. I talk about this on a drive with my dogs in the country side where they also will be visiting nearby my home at the Grand Farm an AgTech testing farm and facility. I get into my thoughts on how the USDA can do better with digital data and processes. There is a lot to talk about and I hope the people around them today and beyond can get the right message...
In this episode, I went off on kind of a fun tangent—comparing the Masters golf tournament to AgTech and farming. It might sound like a stretch, but hear me out. Golf is this game where most people just want to play and enjoy it, not win a championship. Same goes for most farmers. They’re not trying to be the top yield winner, they’re just trying to make things work with the tools they’ve got.
I talk about how the media and industr...
We have to be reminded sometimes of how cruel business can be and who are the ones that try and make the big moves over control towards those that create. It's not just David vs Goliath, it's morality vs greed often. The fear that controls this narrative is big and it's used to keep people in place where they want. AgTech needs to get out of this rut and start making what is needed for the industry. This episode I go through that, ...
While there are plenty of great things being built in AgTech, we are also in a downsizing phase and a reset. With that comes likely an inbound of new consultants coming into play while some try and find new career paths. I talk more on that and how some could navigate that while trying to make sure we understand all the nuance around it all.
In this little diddy I reflect upon my visits to the World Agri-Tech Conference in San Fran. I walk through my experience, the general conference, and other thoughts and trends (along with a few rumors) from my visit. Enjoy

This one is about the exact title which references another video by Barbara Corcoran of Shark Tank around a statement she made about that she mainly invests in poorer founders than rich ones. I talk about how this connects to Ag and the tech world within it.
I discuss the current state of Ag Tech adoption, focusing on the potential role of small farms, the challenges faced in data utilization, and the resistance from farmers towards new technologies. I get into the need for innovative solutions that prioritize farmer control and ownership of data, while also addressing the global landscape of agricultural technology.
