Show Notes

Agriculture has changed a lot over the last 20 years, and it's not slowing down.

In this episode, we sit down with Ben Graham, President of AdFarm, to explore what's evolved, from how farmers get their information to the rapid rise of on-farm technology. They dig into why some innovations take off faster than others, how farmers decide what tech is actually worth using and what the next 20-25 years of farming could look like.

From AI to fully autonomous equipment, the future of agriculture is being shaped right now, but challenges like trust, regulation and usability will shape how fast it gets there.

Explore how agriculture has changed, how technologies get adopted and the innovations shaping what comes next.
