SUMMARY:AI in Agriculture – Ananth Kalyanaraman\, EECS\, WSU
DESCRIPTION:The AgAID Institute is a university-led\, transdisciplinary\, National AI Research Institute with core funding from the US Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture. Launched in 2021\, our Institute is developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions to help address the complex challenges of agriculture related to labor\, water scarcity\, weather events\, and climate change. We are building tools and workflows to help mitigate the effects of labor costs and shortages\, and better manage regional resources such as water\, despite climate uncertainties. The Institute will bring more data and science- guided information to the fingertips of agricultural workers to help them make better decisions. \nTo register\, please go to https://horticulture.wsu.edu/seminar-registration/

SUMMARY:AgWeatherNet: An introduction to the network\, data\, and decision support tools – Sean Hill\, WSU
DESCRIPTION:AgWeatherNet (AWN) provides Washington State farmers\, gardeners\, researchers\, and policy makers with weather data and weather-related decision-support tools to improve agricultural production (yield and quality)\, efficiency\, and profitability while minimizing environmental impacts. AWN was established to serve irrigated agriculture in central Washington\, but with a legislative mandate to serve the entire state has expanded to better serve other regions. \nAgWeatherNet staff responsible for station maintenance\, computational systems\, extension\, and research are distributed across five WSU locations to better serve a large and agriculturally diverse state. AWN staff work closely with researchers and extension specialists across the WSU College of Agriculture\, Human\, and Natural Resource Sciences\, the WSU\, and other universities\, to continuously develop new and improved agricultural decision support tools. \nThe AWN automated weather station network is comprised of three tiers\, all solar powered and reporting at 15-minute intervals: (1) Professional weather stations with Campbell Scientific CR-1000 data loggers and a complement of professional grade sensors from different manufacturers; (2) all-in-one weather stations designed and manufactured in Washington State by the METER group; and (3) privately installed and maintained weather stations with AWN quality control. Standard AgWeatherNet weather variables include air temperature\, relative humidity\, soil temperature\, rainfall\, wind speed\, wind direction\, and solar radiation. Some stations also measure atmospheric pressure\, soil moisture\, and/or leaf wetness. \nTo register\, please go to https://horticulture.wsu.edu/seminar-registration/

SUMMARY:2023 Virtual Orchard Meetup Mitigating Heat Stress
DESCRIPTION:Over the past decade\, growers have been forced to confront wildly vacillating winter temperatures\, uneven and often excessively heavy precipitation events\, and extremely hot temperatures coupled with extended droughts. We will showcase growers and other specialists who are leading the development of solutions to these challenges facing the industry. \nThis effort is being conducted across North America in close collaboration with the AI Institute for Transforming Workforce & Decision Support (AgAID). \nSimply go to the Meet-Up Zoom Site to join a few minutes prior to the start of each meeting. \n#HeatStress #Mitigation #FarmOperations

SUMMARY:2023 Virtual Orchard Meetup Managing the Uncontrollable - Water
DESCRIPTION:The summer Virtual Meetup program has brought together growers\, researchers\, government\, and Extension agents to have an international conversation about important tree fruit topics\, connecting industry leaders across North America. \nThis year’s webinar series will focus on the topic of “Managing the Uncontrollable.” Over the past decade\, growers have been forced to confront wildly vacillating winter temperatures\, uneven and often excessively heavy precipitation events\, and extreme temperatures coupled with extended droughts. We will showcase growers and other specialists who are leading the development of solutions to these challenges facing the industry.\nThis effort is being conducted across North America in close collaboration with the AI Institute for Transforming Workforce & Decision Support (AgAID). \nSimply go to the Meet-Up Zoom Site to join a few minutes prior to the start of each meeting. \n#Water #Allocation #Management

SUMMARY:The AgAID Institute for Transforming Workforce and Decision Support in Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:The newly established AgAID Institute\, led by Washington State University\, is a multi-institution\, transdisciplinary coalition that will build partnerships between the Institute’s core members (six universities\, two community/4-year colleges\, and two tech companies) and a diverse range of key stakeholder groups. The overall approach will be guided by a cross-cutting mantra of adopt-adapt-amplify\, i.e.\, adoption as a first principle in AI design\, adaptability to changing environments and scales\, and amplification of human skills and machine efficiency. Activities will include: using agricultural AI applications as testbeds for developing innovative AI technologies and workflows; serving as a nexus for culturally inclusive collaborative transdisciplinary learning and knowledge co-production; preparing the next generation workforce for careers at the intersection of Ag and AI technology\, and facilitating technology adoption and transfer. \nZOOM Link\nZoom ID: 6152579133\nPassword: 2021 \nFor more information visit: https://pprc.uga.edu/seminars/
