Agriculture is embracing innovation at a remarkable pace.

The Perry Technology & Entrepreneurship Advisory Board welcomed agricultural leaders Corey Cottle of AgGeorgia Farm Credit, Caleb Kamerer of Triangle Chemical Company, and Kaytlyn Cobb of UGA Grand Farm for The Future of Agriculture: Innovation, AI & What’s Next.

The speakers discussed how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are transforming agriculture, from precision farming and drone applications to data-driven decision-making. They also addressed workforce challenges and UGA Grand Farm’s growing network of national and international partners.

“A common misconception is that agriculture is behind in technology. The speed at which we’re adopting new technology is innovative.”
