In this webinar, presenters will explore how emerging artificial intelligence technologies are transforming manure and nutrient management practices. The session will highlight how advances in IoT, machine learning, and remote sensing are enabling a shift from simple data collection to predictive, decision-support systems in livestock production. Presentations will illustrate how AI-driven tools can enhance monitoring, efficiency, and environmental outcomes while supporting producers and researchers. Attendees will gain a forward-looking perspective on how integrated data and intelligent systems are shaping the future of nutrient management and agricultural sustainability. This presentation was originally broadcast on June 19, 2026. Continue reading “Smart Manure: AI-Driven Insights for Manure and Nutrient Management”
A view from above – application of drones and remote sensing for air and water quality measures around livestock farms
Aerial photos of farms and farming practices are becoming easier to find and collect. But drones and satellites can provide more than pretty pictures. In this webinar, the three speakers will share applications of drones and remote sensing for air and water quality measures around livestock farms. Dirk Charlson will share his simple approach to collecting drone imagery, and the range of opportunities for analyzing images and mapping practices. Nesli Akdeniz has collected air quality measures in pasture systems with drones. Finally, Becca Muenich has used remote sensing to examine land application practices. While it may seem like these applications are flying by faster than we can see, the speakers will help ground us with their experience. This presentation was originally broadcast on December 12, 2025.
