Experts Discuss Challenges of Integrating New Technology on Farms

We were in Fresno, California, for FIRA USA 2022, the premier agricultural robots & technology forum. There was a special panel discussion about the challenges farmers face when it comes to adopting new technology. Aubrey Bettencourt (Almond Alliance CEO) says:

“If we don’t have rural access to underlying infrastructures (satellites, internet, cellular access) then we can’t use the products you’re bringing us. There’s a need for investment in basic infrastructure that allows farmers to adopt and implement these tools quickly. We’re out in the middle of nowhere in a lot of these places.”
