Putting a Price on Farm Data

Nathan DeLay, assistant professor of agricultural economics at Purdue, presented a webinar titled Putting a Price on Data.

A lot has been said about “big data” in agriculture but less is known about how farmers actually value the data they collect. DeLay covers some of the major issues facing producers and agribusiness when it comes to farm data and how we can evaluate its worth.
