19. Preston Sundeen Pt. 2 - Teaching Precision Ag That Works Today

Welcome back to the second part of our conversation with Preston Sundeen to explore how a two-year ag program prepares students for precision agriculture careers by building real-world skills across hardware, software, GIS, and agronomy. Sundeen's focus is practical confidence: clean data, sound troubleshooting, critical thinking, and learning to ask better questions. We also talk about...• defining precision ag as practical, cross-disciplinary work • balancing agronomy, GIS, hardware and software fundamentals • building file discipline, projections and boundary workflows • sourcing NAIP, PLSS, and satellite imagery effectively • controller setup, CAN bus basics and diagnostics • using simulators to teach certain types of controllers • as-applied data, JD Operation Center, SMS, and FieldView exposure • teaching troubleshooting: manuals, credible videos and tests • digital literacy and AI as time-saving tools • measuring success by momentum, confidence and community impact  We had an excellent conversation with Preston and we know you'll enjoy it too.Part 1 of our conversation: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2297340/episodes/18257891https://gktechinc.com/
