What does it take to make agricultural AI useful to farmers—not just impressive in a demo? Anton Zaides explains how drone imagery, machine learning, and engineering teams turn field data into practical decisions. Himanshu Saxena and Anton discuss the constraints of ag-tech, farmer trust and privacy, seasonal demand on engineering teams, and lessons from Anton’s move from game development into agricultural technology.
