The 6 Most Amazing AI Advances in Agriculture

When we think about agriculture, we tend to think about old-school farming. But although many of us might think that the agricultural community is behind the curve when it comes to implementing new technologies, there is lots of evidence that farmers are actually moving quite quickly to modernize almost everything about the farming process -- they're using artificial intelligence in new and amazing ways to bring the process of food cultivation into the future. High-tech agriculture starts at the very second that the seed is first placed in the ground. Experts in the field are familiar with "variable rate planting equipment" that does more than just planting a seed down into the dirt somewhere. As you'll see later in this article, all sorts of artificial intelligence work is being done behind the scenes on predictions -- where a seed will grow best, what soil conditions are likely to be, etc.
