Synopsis

Travel out with us to Whiskey Acres in DeKalb, IL, where we did a live episode recording with leaders in Agricultural Tech at the AGTech Nexus conference. Philippe de Laperouse shares what he sees is the direction of robotics in farming. CEO of RowBot, Kent Cavender-Bares, discusses how technology can increase the versatility of crops in a single field and decrease the percentage of crop failure. Jonah Kolb from Moore & Warner sets us city-slickers straight and helps us understand the management aspects of farming. As the AgTech space continues to grow, learn why collaboration between investors, entrepreneurs, and farmers is important. Spoiler alert: the lack of broadband is a serious threat to farms.
