There is a tremendous amount of innovation in modern-day agriculture. But how does technology and agriculture converge? According to Emerging Prairie co-founder Greg Tehven, the Cultivate Conference helps brings awareness to those emerging ag technologies. “We’re trying to help farmers and ranchers look at the new innovation that’s coming,” says Tehven. “It’s anything from software to connect landowners and renters, to weather data, sensors and different autonomous tractors.” When selecting speakers for the conference, Tehven looks for technologists deeply aware of problems in agriculture. “They’re trying to come up with solutions for farmers and ranchers.” The 2nd Annual Cultivate Conference took place in Fargo, North Dakota on Thursday.
