Well, now days it seems like our answers to crop issues "absolutely, positively has to be here in the next 30 seconds". Enter Jeff Frank of CropSmart. This week we examine Jeff's use of no-collection soil sampling probes, digital imaging and readouts, fed through AI, to get real-time answers and last-minute scripts to tackle field by field problems in the world of agronomy. And the use of drones to further that agronomic diagnosis in the weeks following planting. Is it worth it? We'll, you be the judge. Ryan is always skeptical of this technological stuff, and cant stand AI...but Charlie seems to be the believer lemming. Is he right?

This week we step into the thick of a controversial plan to sequester carbon via high pressure deep injection well underneath acres and acres of northern Indiana farmland. The community seemingly doesn't want it, the county government is trying to handle the proposals in a correct manner and the project proposers seem hellbent on forcing it through. Courts may still yet have to decide some parts of this fiasco, time will tell. Does this affect all of you? Likely not. But this sounds eerily similar to stories about data centers, solar fields, other carbon capture programs and other economic development that comes on the backs of agriculture, so we all should probably pay attention. This kind of playbook is becoming more and more commonplace.
