ChatGPT is helping this South Carolina farmer manage farm data

A South Carolina farmer is using artificial intelligence to manage her on-farm data.

Rachel Sharp says ChatGPT has made the impossible possible.

“I was getting hundreds of pages of data from everything from my irrigation systems to my tractors, and it was data overload. And so what I did was, I tried out ChatGPT, which is, you know, the AI platform. I just thought I was going to start by putting information into it. Maybe it would talk to me, talk back to me a little bit, but it ended up spitting back out these very detailed maps that I was able to use on my form, based off of those hundreds of pages of data. It’s really neat. It’s a good thing, and I still use them, then you can use those maps to create even more maps. So it’s been beneficial to our farming operation.”

Sharp says she even uploaded the user manual for a new combine into ChatGPT, and it produced a three-page summary within seconds.
