Farmers invited to share views on AI in agriculture

From identifying crop problems to turning years of field data into management guidance, artificial intelligence is moving closer to the decisions producers make every day. University of Nebraska researchers want to know how producers and future agricultural professionals view this changing role, according to a news release.

A new survey examines their perceptions of, trust in and readiness to use AI-enabled agricultural tools. Corn and soybean producers age 19 or older are eligible, as are agriculture students in Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Oklahoma. The survey takes about 10 to 12 minutes, participation is voluntary, and participants may skip any question.

Take the survey at go.unl.edu/ai-ag-survey.

For questions, email Jean Claude Niyomugabo, UNL Biological Systems Engineering graduate research assistant, at jniyomugabo2@huskers.unl.edu or Heather Akin, UNL assistant professor of strategic communication.

Across the open plains of North Dakota and South Dakota, sunflower fields turn the American landscape into a sea of gold. In this farming documentary, we go inside modern sunflower farming to see how farmers plant, grow, harvest, clean, dry, process, and transform sunflower seeds into valuable products used every day.

In 2024, American farmers harvested about 1.15 billion pounds of sunflowers. This video follows the full journey from warm spring planting to combine harvesting, seed cleaning, storage, oil extraction, refining, roasting, packaging, and animal feed production.

You will see how sunflower seeds are processed into cooking oil, roasted snacks, bakery ingredients, birdseed, livestock feed, and useful byproducts. From golden fields to modern processing plants, this is the story of how a beautiful flower becomes one of America’s important oilseed crops.

Watch until the end to discover how sunflower farming connects farmers, machines, factories, food production, and sustainable agriculture.
