Digital Ag Networking Events Set for Nov. 4, Dec. 8

By Fran tenBensel Benne

The Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources' Digital Agriculture Task Force invites university faculty, students and staff to join two upcoming engagement events designed to connect a growing community around digital agriculture.

Guillermo Balboa, a member of the task force and event coordinator, said the Digital Agriculture Networking and Awareness Series marks the next step toward building the Nebraska Digital Agriculture Hub, following the success of the initial IANR Digital Ag survey distributed throughout IANR this fall.

Event dates are 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 4 at the Nebraska East Union, Great Plains Room B, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Dec. 8 at the Nebraska East Union, Great Plains Room A.

The task force encourages participants to share ideas, meet collaborators across research, teaching and extension, and help shape the future of digital agriculture at Nebraska.

It's summertime in Minnesota as a yellow Air Tractor agricultural application aircraft -- a crop duster -- responds to the control inputs of its pilot in a low-altitude dance just above the tops of the cornstalks. Enjoy! And we found a Bell 206 Long Ranger spray helicopter perched on a support truck at the edge of the cornfields, and launching from there. In our video, you can occasionally hear the rotor sounds of the crop-dusting helicopter as we see the yellow Air Tractor in a nearby field.
