Facebook AI Is Getting Into Agriculture<\/a><\/p>\n

Artificial intelligence allows farmers to spray weeds while keeping the crop untouched. <\/p>\n

With crop prices in the dumpster and the world\u2019s population growing among a changing climate, artificial intelligence is becoming a life-saving measure for many farmers. From automated planting and harvesting to unmanned vehicles for cultivation and soil sampling, AI has begun to make it more cost efficient for producers to do their job.<\/p>\n

One of the largest roadblocks is herbicides. According to a 2016 University of Illinois study<\/a>, the chemical prices are on the rise and pose a big threat to a farmer\u2019s bottom line.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrowth rates of fertilizer, pesticide, and seed costs have been higher in years following 2006 than they were between 1990 and 2006. In 2015, the sum of fertilizer, pesticide, and seed costs were 48% of crop revenue, much higher than the 36% average from 1990 to 2006. These costs need to decrease, particularly if corn prices remain below $4.00. Otherwise, it will be difficult for revenues to be less than total costs.\u201d<\/p>\n
