AgTech in the Heartland: How Digital Tools Are Transforming Farms Across the Midwest
In this episode, Land O’Lakes, Inc.'s Chief Technology Officer Teddy Bekele explores how agtech innovation is reshaping farming across the Upper Midwest and the Great Plains. With tools like satellite imaging, advanced data analytics, AI-driven insights, and digital platforms, today’s farmers can make faster, more precise decisions that boost yields, reduce inputs, and support long-term sustainability.
The discussion breaks down how cooperatives help bring emerging technologies directly to farmers, giving producers in rural communities access to tools once limited to large-scale operations.
