The combination of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and data is opening the door to a new wave of decision-making tools for farmers. One of the major advancements lies in the collection and analysis of data at an individual farm or paddock level.
Goanna Ag CEO, Jay Jalota says they have developed AI solutions for three key areas in cotton production – planting, irrigation and spraying. Based in Goondiwindi, Goanna Ag has been providing on-farm data services for 20 years.
“AI is essentially the ‘brain’ of this technology – it can analyse and reflect on information, and adapt or learn from new information as it is added,” he says. “This adaptation is called machine learning, where historical and new data is provided to the AI for it to analyse, look for patterns and make conclusions without human bias.”
