Director of Digital Agronomy, Nutrien Ag Solutions, Patrick Sanders

The director of Digital Agronomy at Nutrien Ag Solutions, Patrick Sanders, discussed the integration of digital agronomy to provide high-resolution recommendations for crop management. He emphasized the use of advanced technologies like soil biology tests, LIDAR data, and equipment sensors to optimize nutrient use efficiency. Sanders highlighted the importance of testing new technologies on farms to understand their effectiveness. He also noted the role of artificial intelligence in agriculture, currently used for quick information access, but not yet for specific agronomic recommendations. Sanders works closely with agronomists to implement these technologies, ensuring they are scaled and tailored to individual farm environments.
