Texas A&M AgriLife Research is anticipating the largest competitive grant in the organization’s history – up to $65 million – to execute a five-year, multi-commodity project to work with Texas’ large sector on expanding climate- and forestry practices.
The aforementioned technologies led the , to generation, 3.0. This generation aims to explore farming technologies such as crop prediction, crop recommendation, variable rate applications, yield monitoring, and knowledge system for farmers (Narvaez et al., 2017).
, an outreach program focused on literacy, has educated more than 168,000 people in the Imperial Valley and surrounding areas since its inception in 2001. The program is an integral part of Desert REC – one of nine centers operated across the state by University of California and Natural Resources – and …
Labor is over 50% of the cost of growing a , and 55% of farmers say labor shortages impact them. Because of this, 31% of farmers are moving to less laborious crops. However, there is a vast potential for harvest machine learning. Routine tasks can be automated with robotics technology, reducing labor costs in the industry.
It offers a historic, once-in-a-generation investment and opportunity for the communities that USDA serves. The Inflation Reduction Act will help producers stay on the , help prevent producers from becoming ineligible for future assistance, and promote climate- by increasing access to conservation assistance.

systems call on a variety of IoT capabilities to improve farming production and deliver monitoring capabilities. For large-area, more traditional farming, sensors placed within the ground may record real-time data on soil moisture, temperature and pH, while environmental sensors may record sun exposure, rainfall, wind speed, air temperature and humidity.
