AI brings cybersecurity risks for farmers

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to reshape agriculture, grain farmers are seeing significant improvements in efficiency, profitability and sustainability.

AI-driven tools optimize planting, fertilization and harvesting while also helping farmers navigate market fluctuations. However, with increased reliance on digital technology, cybersecurity threats pose a growing risk to modern farm operations.

Implementing AI alongside strong cybersecurity practices ensures a resilient and productive future for grain farmers.

AI-powered tools analyze soil health, moisture levels and weather patterns to guide planting decisions. Smart sensors provide real-time data, helping farmers determine the best seed varieties and planting densities for maximum yield. By optimizing seed placement and soil inputs, AI reduces waste and enhances efficiency.

Video: CHP Talks: Paul Bootsma—Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario #farmers #agriculture

My guest this week is Mr. Paul Bootsma, Policy Coordinator for the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario (CFFO). We discuss his policy work at the CFFO and how the organization advocates for farmers with both the federal and provincial governments. We also discuss the current issue of waste at some small abbatoirs (slaughter facilities) in Ontario where there seems to be a pattern of excessive condemnation of animal carcasses by provincial inspectors, raising cost for both farmers and abbatoir owners.
