AI in Ag Tech: Session Three, Lindsey Lusher Shute & Kheva Mann
In this presentation, Lindsey Lusher Shute will share how Farm Generations Cooperative as a whole has been evolving to work with AI: what it has empowered their business team to do, and real world applications where Lindsey's farm is using AI more, and how GrownBy is positioning itself to meet farmers where they already are.
Next, Kheva Mann will cover how their engineering team has moved toward more AI automated work and verification and always-on monitoring. Kheva will then go into the problems they've run into with AI, including the increased capabilities bad actors now have access to, and our concern about consolidation of reliance on AI providers.
Afterwards, we will open it it up for discussion.

About the Series:
Over the course of five sessions in November, we will explore and discuss how AI is being used in the open-source agriculture space. We aim to bring together practitioners, developers, organizers, farmers and technologists in the GOAT/Farm Hack/OpenTEAM orbit (anyone is welcome!) This series is strategically set ahead of GOAT 2026 to invite discussion on this topic ahead of the event. The series is hosted as a GOAT community collaboration, organized by Greg Austic, Dorn Cox, and Anna Lynton.
Tuesdays in November @ 11am EST
In each session, a different speaker will demo what they are working on, share how they did it, and invite discussion from the participants. Interested in presenting? Reach out to an.lynton@gmail.com
