Any ideas on how AI can help with farming?

Hello everyone, I recently inherited 100 hectares of land, mostly used for growing corn. Does anyone here have tips on how AI can help improve production or increase revenue? Looking for practical advice or examples.

Have you tried asking AI tools about this?

I tried asking Gemini, but it only gave me general advice and said ‘congratulations.’ I was hoping for something more specific, like ‘IBM is working on an AI-assisted corn seed resistant to pests’ or something like that.

You can use drones to collect data and create models for improving production, preventing issues, and planning crop rotation. Countries like Israel and Saudi Arabia have been doing this for years. It works well!

@DataChap
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll look into it.

AI can really transform farming. Use drones and sensors to monitor crop health, optimize water and fertilizer use, and even predict the best times to harvest. Self-driving tractors can save on labor, and AI market tools can help you sell your corn when prices are highest. You’ve got a lot of potential there!

Try asking about this on LinkedIn. You’ll probably get companies pitching their products and ideas that could be useful.

You could use AI to time planting and harvesting for maximum yield. Or, who knows, maybe AI could help engineer some kind of super-corn. Just tossing out ideas here!
