No mais recente episódio do Rural Talks, recebemos Daniel Padrão, um profissional com vasta experiência em inovação e tecnologia no agronegócio. Durante a conversa, ele compartilhou sua trajetória, os desafios que enfrentou ao longo do caminho e as lições valiosas que aprendeu, especialmente no processo de internacionalização e na aplicação de tecnologias digitais no campo. Daniel falou sobre o início de sua carreira e como seu retorno ao Brasil foi motivado por questões pessoais e pelo desejo de empreender. Ele encontrou oportunidades promissoras no agronegócio, especialmente na Bahia, e destacou sua experiência na startup Solintec, que expandiu para os Estados Unidos. Durante esse processo, enfrentou desafios culturais e de mercado, mas aprendeu a importância de se adaptar ao mercado local e respeitar a reputação da agricultura brasileira. Um ponto alto da conversa foi sua reflexão sobre a transformação digital no setor agrícola. Daniel explicou como as startups no passado eram vistas apenas como desenvolvedoras de tecnologia e como isso mudou com o foco em soluções que geram impacto direto para os produtores. Ele também destacou o papel do Climate FieldView, ferramenta da Climate Corp/Bayer, que utiliza dados para ajudar os agricultores a tomarem decisões mais assertivas e eficientes. Quando questionado sobre o futuro do agronegócio, Daniel falou sobre a importância de extrair o máximo de insumos e tecnologias para otimizar a produção e promover a eficiência no campo. Ele acredita que, apesar das diferenças entre produtores brasileiros e americanos, o Brasil tem grande potencial para adotar tecnologias digitais de forma mais profunda. O episódio trouxe insights valiosos sobre a comodização da tecnologia, a desintermediação da cadeia e a necessidade de tornar as soluções tecnológicas mais simples e acessíveis para facilitar sua adoção pelos produtores. Foi uma conversa inspiradora, que reforça a importância de conectar inovação e praticidade para transformar o setor agrícola.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
No mais recente episódio do Rural Talks, recebemos Carlos Ribeiro, CEO e cofundador da Sensix, para uma conversa detalhada sobre como a sua plataforma de gestão de dados está transformando o agronegócio. A Sensix está na vanguarda da inovação, revolucionando a coleta, processamento e utilização de dados nas propriedades agrícolas. Sua tecnologia consolida informações essenciais, como fertilidade do solo, compactação, presença de nematóides, estande de plantas, controle de plantas daninhas, além de integrar dados de imagens de satélite, drones, precipitação e colheita. Durante o episódio, exploramos como a Sensix automatiza esses processos, entregando um retorno de investimento (ROI) claro e mensurável para os produtores. Um dos grandes diferenciais da plataforma é a capacidade de integrar mapas de colheita diretamente ao maquinário agrícola, facilitando a importação de dados brutos de gigantes do setor, como Climate Fieldview e John Deere Operations Center. Isso garante que todas as operações no campo sejam otimizadas e orientadas por dados precisos e organizados. Outro ponto crucial da conversa foi a discussão sobre os modelos de negócio para AgTechs, com ênfase na escalabilidade das soluções tecnológicas, especialmente para pequenos e médios produtores. A digitalização de processos ainda não padronizados, a capacitação da mão de obra rural e a implementação de aplicativos fáceis de usar foram questões centrais. Também destacamos a importância de criar uma nova função no setor: os Assessores de Decisão Agrícola, profissionais que auxiliarão diretamente os produtores na transformação digital de suas operações. Esse episódio é uma oportunidade imperdível para quem deseja compreender como a agricultura de precisão e a digitalização estão moldando o futuro do agronegócio.

Here's the good news about wireworms: of the more than 300 species found on the Prairies, only four or five cause trouble for agricultural production. The bad news? This patchy pest can create serious trouble in fields – but also completely ignore neighbouring areas, making it a constant battle to scout and track wireworm populations. Research on wireworm management and thresholds is a little thin on the ground, but current projects and studies seek to change this, giving growers a better idea of when and how to control this insect complex. In this episode, Haley Catton, field crop entomologist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Lethbridge, Alta., discusses what makes wireworms such a tricky pest to control. She also provides information on broflanilide – an active ingredient registered last fall with Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) – and pest management tips for growers.

Today, we are talking with T.J. Masker, Senior Product Manager at Tractor Zoom, headquartered in Urbandale, Iowa. They are focused on helping bring price transparency to farm equipment and valuations for farmers, bankers, equipment dealers and insurance companies. T.J. has a lot of experience and knowledge in the precision ag space, and today, I asked him questions on how to unlock new insights to your farming operation using precision ag. "I was covering a territory in south-central Iowa for one of the major seed brands. And I had farmers who kept asking me, like: ‘What can we do with this data? How do we start to think about how we utilize it more?' This was almost eight years ago, and I literally Googled, like, ‘farm data' something or another, and it led me, ironically enough, to Premier Crop and filled out the ‘contact us' button. Then, I think it was Tony or Ben or somebody who reached out to me about: ‘Hey, we'd love to talk to you, understand where you're coming from.' And that ultimately led me to working with Premier Crop about seven-and-a-half years ago and doing direct advising with farmers in central Iowa. And many of those farms that I worked with back in the day, I'm still really close with today as I'm trying to solve new and unique problems, but I think, at that time, I had zero experience with precision ag. So, I had to learn how to set up the monitors, what Ag Leader SMS was, what software was to make better decisions. It was also my job to go out and recruit farms and help their operation. So, I think, over that time, I had to learn a tremendous amount about precision ag, what it was capable of. But, ultimately, I think for me, what it came down to is there's so much value in this data and what we can get out of it if we're measuring things correctly. And I think one of the things I experienced, even with the farms that have been collecting data for 15 years, was that, man, if we get this data structured in a way, it's going to allow us to unlock so much potential. And whether that be if you're using Climate FieldView or using John Deere Ops Center or using Granular, where I was at. It doesn't matter unless the data is structured in a way that you can get the results out of it. And that, to me, was always the biggest ‘light bulb moment' for a lot of the farmers" If you are enjoying the show, tweet us using #PremierPodcast.

Today’s episode is brought to you by FieldAgent by Sentera. One key piece of the agtech conversation that often gets overlooked is the most likely customer for a lot of digital tools may not actually be a farmer. For many of them, an advisor to that farmer may be the one actually performing that task, and may have the biggest vested interest in adopting cutting-edge technologies. We’re calling this little mini-series “The Tech-Enabled Advisor.” We will profile some of the farmers’ advisers: agronomists, ag retailers, consultants, and other local professionals that farmers rely on for guidance, advice, and implementation. To help me identify the right tech-savvy advisors for these episodes, and to make sure we hear from different types of guests, I’ve asked various agtech companies to partner with me on these episodes. The first one to say yes, was the sponsor of today’s episode: FieldAgent by Sentera. FieldAgent enables agronomic advisors to make more timely decisions by taking data they’re already using on a daily basis – such as satellite, weather, equipment, soil, and field operations and integrate it with drone data and their machine learning capabilities. In this episode, we are joined by Matt Larson, Agronomy Sales Manager for CHS in Holdredge, Nebraska. CHS is a leading global agribusiness owned by farmers, ranchers and cooperatives across the United States. Matt and his team of 6 utilize technology like FieldAgent alongside Climate FieldView and CHS’s Agellum platform to service their farmer customers. “The biggest thing we need to do to separate ourselves is bring new ideas. Everybody has a fertilizer price. Everybody sells a seed of some kind or a chemical of some kind. The big thing that we need to do is separate ourselves with technology, being a big one, service, information to growers, and just being able to offer those different ideas that maybe somebody else hasn't quite caught on to yet.” - Matt Larson Matt has seen the business model of agronomists and agronomy sales evolve over the last 12 years whether it's via communication methods, producer expectations or relationships with the farmers. He has found that farmers want to see more verified data before adopting new technology and a lot of that can now be shared via the new digital platforms. “Growers have all this data. They have the planting data, they have the seeding data, harvest data, their spraying, all that stuff. What do they do with it? And that's where I think it's our job to dig through the weeds and find out what's the real, what's the fake for them, what makes a difference and then bring that to them.” - Matt Larson Please participate in our listener survey to help us focus the direction of the show: https://airtable.com/shrCB33GWIUCIxVRU This Week on The Future of Agriculture Podcast: Matt Larson, Agronomy Sales Manager for CHS in Holdredge, Nebraska Discover how Matt incorporates new technologies like FieldAgent, Climate FieldView and CHS’s Agellum platform for his customers Listen to a discussion about what data matters to producers and what methods do they prefer to use to access it Join the FOA Community!
