Are farmers going to be able to adapt to all of the future technological advances?

Technology in the ag sector has changed the game for some operations, but are some farmers falling behind?

One tech pro says it is all about following the trends.

“I use the acronym AHA to describe what I do as a futurist, but I also think it’s what farmers need to do. And what it stands for is Awareness, Humility, and Action. We need to be aware of the trends that are transforming our world. We need humility to the idea that the way we farm today might not be how we do it in the future. And then the A stands for action. We have to take action to create our desirable future,” said Jack Uldrich.

He tells aginfo.net that it is important to be aware of new technologies, but says you also need to remain skeptical.
