Fall Webinar Series: Digging into the Data Pipeline

Experts in data science and digital agriculture at Purdue University presented a series of digital agriculture webinars from October to December 2020. From practical tips you can implement today to deeper dives into what drives the technology, the Digging into the Data Pipeline presentations were designed for those interested in getting more out of farm and other agribusiness data.
“Collection is just the first step when it comes to taking advantage of all of the data generated on the farm, whether it is in the field or in a livestock barn,” said Dennis Buckmaster, professor of Agricultural & Biological Engineering and Dean’s Fellow for Digital Agriculture at Purdue University. “In this series, we went a few levels deeper and demonstrated everything from managing your data with a smartphone to using and maintaining sensors on the farm.”
The webinars were each Thursday starting on Oct. 1 and running through Dec. 10. Click on the links below for more information about each webinar as well as a link to the YouTube video of each presentation.
