Building a Common Language for Agricultural Data

Agriculture’s growing reliance on digital tools has made data interoperability an increasingly important industry challenge. In this episode of Ag Tech Talk, Samantha Murray, Head of Product Data at Compass Regulatory, discusses how disconnected platforms and inconsistent data can create inefficiencies and complicate regulatory compliance. Murray explores the need for a common language across agricultural technology platforms, the challenges of maintaining accurate crop protection label data and the added complexity of EPA Endangered Species Act requirements — and how better-connected regulatory information can streamline compliance and support more informed decisions across the ag value chain.

In this episode of Ag Tech Talk by AgriBusiness Global, Bryce Baker, North America Tactical Marketing Lead, PTx, discusses the company's "retrofit first" approach to global expansion, the growing potential of targeted spraying, and the challenges of scaling autonomy. Baker explains how retrofits help growers adopt new technology without waiting for their next equipment trade cycle, while OEM partnerships complement that strategy. He also explores how autonomy, data management, and fleet logistics will shape the future of precision agriculture — and shares advice for companies entering new markets: Understand who the farmer is.

In this episode of Ag Tech Talk by AgriBusiness Global, Charlie Andersen, CEO of Burro, discusses the practical realities of AI and automation on the farm — what works, what doesn't, and where the biggest opportunities lie. Drawing on experience deploying more than 800 autonomous systems worldwide, Anderson explains why growers should start with simple, repetitive tasks before tackling more complex jobs, how automation can build trust with farm labor rather than fear, and what separates robotics companies built for real-world scale from those that only shine in flashy demos.
