Join experts in data science and digital agriculture at Purdue University for a series of digital agriculture webinars each Thursday, starting Oct. 1 at 12:30 p.m. ET. From practical tips you can implement today to deeper dives into what drives the technology, the Digging into the Data Pipeline presentations are designed for those interested in getting more out of farm and other agribusiness data.
“Collection is just the first step when it comes to taking advantage of all of the data generated on the farm, whether it is in the field or in a livestock barn,” said Dennis Buckmaster, professor of Agricultural & Biological Engineering and Dean’s Fellow for Digital Agriculture at Purdue University. “In this series, we want to go a few levels deeper and demonstrate everything from managing your data with a smartphone to using and maintaining sensors on the farm.”
The webinars start at 12:30 p.m. ET each Thursday starting on Oct. 1 and running through Dec. 10. Speakers will present for the first 30 minutes followed by a live chat where participants can ask questions.
