Can AI add value to your grain business?

 Phill Guthrie, 3EC

Artificial intelligence (AI) is attracting significant attention across agriculture, but where can it genuinely add value in a cropping business, and what should growers understand before committing time and money to new technologies?

Phill will explore where AI is creating opportunities for Australian cropping businesses today, where the technology is likely to have the greatest impact in the future, and the areas of caution growers should carefully consider when contemplating their adoption of new technology.

Phill Guthrie works at the intersection of agriculture, digital systems, technology adoption and AI, with a focus on turning emerging tools into practical solutions that deliver value on farm.
