Over the winter we teamed up with Picterra, a company specializing in artificial intelligence (AI) photogramy. Although that is a mouthful, it is very exciting technology. What it brings is AI to the local grower so they have accurate stand counts in a fraction of the traditional time along with accurate weed location.

This obviously has a direct affect on the farm’s efficiency. Local growers are able to get early season predictions of harvest yield, determine if replanting is economically feasible and determine where herbicide should be applied. This new AI technology is exciting and I’m sure we will find many more useful applications.
