Ball, the commissioner of the state Department of Agriculture and Markets, observed &#8220;quite a lot of uncertainty in the industry&#8221; but remains &#8220;encouraged&#8221; due to major expansion in agricultural manufacturing by companies like Chobani, Agri-Mark, Great Lakes Cheese, Hood, and FairLife.<br \/>\n&#8211; The conference highlighted the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in agriculture, including its use for monitoring cow health and productivity through sensors and cameras, and as a tool for efficient marketing to customers.<br \/>\n&#8211; AI technology allows farmers to collect complex data on animal health and behavior, thus making decisions that enhance farm efficiency and productivity.<br \/>\n&#8211; Kelsey O\u2019Shea, from the American Dairy Association North East, explained that AI can quickly create personalized marketing messages, reducing the need for time-consuming social media efforts.<br \/>\n&#8211; This marks the 23rd year of Jefferson County Agricultural Economic Development&#8217;s annual conference and its 25th anniversary since its inception.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NNY agriculture industry may lean more on artificial intelligence in coming years, researchers say |&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":200109,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/bloximages.newyork1.vip.townnews.com\/nny360.com\/content\/tncms\/assets\/v3\/editorial\/7\/43\/743c87ae-bf54-5ad2-bd29-d3a14993a1b6\/69c819820f0b9.image.jpg?crop=1024%2C538%2C0%2C115","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-200108","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200108"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=200108"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200108\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":200110,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/200108\/revisions\/200110"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/200109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=200108"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=200108"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=200108"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
