Moores law on technology advances has not excluded Agriculture as an industry, any more than other industries. While its nice and sentimental to think that the business of growing food can be done the same pastoral way as was done in your grandfathers time, the technologies that make other businesses more efficient, also apply to Agriculture, and consumers and the environment are the beneficiaries. >>Advances in information technology, breeding, and biotechnology are on a path toward convergence. Precision agriculture, as Fraley emphasizes, has the ability to integrate science and bring together what’s in the seed, on the seed, and in the field. In addition, the increasing sophistication of sensors to generate data allows a grower to make 40-50 decisions slightly better over the crop course of a growing season and steadily boost yield opportunity. Eviston believes the changes for agriculture are only just beginning. It’s going to get easier every single day and year because we’re at the cusp of this innovation and there’s not going to be any slowing down. The things we’re worried about today will be a fleeting memory three years from now.
