Achieving Individual -- and Organizational -- Value With AI

At Land O'Lakes, a member-owned cooperative agribusiness, farmers are using data and artificial intelligence to make smarter decisions. Over the past 30 years, corn farmers have used advances in bioengineering, chemicals, and analytics to boost their average yields by 50%, from 120 to 180 bushels per acre. Those advances pale in contrast to future corn yields that will be made possible using data and AI: Demonstrations promise to triple that average -- to 540 bushels per acre -- by the end of this decade. Farmers don't have to wait that long to see some of those benefits, however. Through extensive experimentation and complex algorithms, Land O'Lakes is already providing AI-driven recommendations to help individual farmers become more productive.
