""We're putting 20 years of data into [farmers'] hands,""
""Oz is designed to be put into the hands of an agronomist,""
""What we're doing with AI . . . is using the structured, high-quality, standardized data from over the past 20 years and feeding it into Oz. That cuts out the noise," Anderson says, noting that it also helps farmers trust that "the data source was correct.""
Microsoft and Land O'Lakes co-developed an AI agricultural science tool named Oz to support farmers and agronomists. Oz runs on mobile devices and taps Land O'Lakes's proprietary agricultural data and insights previously available in a bound 800-page book. The tool supplies on-the-fly guidance about what, where, and when to plant, along with weather forecasting, pest and pesticide information, and other operational advice. Oz uses twenty years of structured, standardized data to reduce noise and increase trust in recommendations. The tool aims to address labor shortages, yield declines from climate change, and rising operational costs by enabling more informed decisions.
