Precision Education In the Dakotas

At the recent Precision Agriculture Summit in Jamestown ND, I got to spend time with a number of folks in the area championing precision technology in the state ... and some even agreed to submit to a video recording. Melinda Martin was one of the good sports who shared her knowledge and perspective on "film," and it was great to finally meet someone who I met first here on the Network.

We first chatted over a topic which is a particular passion for Melinda -- the creation of educational coursework that would lead to a two year degree focused on ag technology. Or, in shorthand, a "Geek Squad" degree for agriculture. That robust discussion still lives here on the Network.

Melinda provided an update on this educational goal among others, and shares a bit of history about the program in the recording below:

It's awesome to be able to talk to people who have passion about the benefits of ag technology, and who are doing great work even in relatively remote areas. If you'd like to reach out to Melinda and share your thoughts and experiences, you can use the Network or visit the Center's web page.
