Participants
Duirng the meeting, we had the opportunity to discuss various collaborative efforts, that culminated to a google document spreadsheet with multiple participants "buying in to various projects"
The first day of the conference was dedicated to showcasing the use of AI in agriculture to a specialty crop that is important for Louisiana (sugarcane). The participants had the opportunity to visit the John Deere factory at Thibodaux and discuss cutting edge technology initiatives with the technical lead team there. The participants also got to tour the facility on site. The second stop was the LSU Ag Center Sugarcane Station, where the participants got to see first hand the use of AI to improve the Sugarcane Breeding program in Louisiana. The team there presented us with the whole process, and showed how an AI powered app is fundamental in their new breeding scheduling.
The second day of the conference was dedicated to creating possible collaborations, both for common papers and common grant writting.
