2017 ASABE Meeting: Big Data is Where the Rubber Meets the Dirt

Outside of the core precision agriculture technologies, researchers have a renewed interest in the interface between in-field machine operations and soil conditions. Connecting machine data and farm data, and turning that data into actionable insights, is becoming possible thanks in part to data standards (ISOBUS) and the work of ASABE.
