332: AI Is Coming for Agriculture and Most Cattle Producers Aren’t Ready with Gabe Wright

Today on the Cattle USA Daily Podcast Lauren sits down with Gabe Wight to talk about AI, record keeping, technology adoption, and where innovation is headed in the cattle industry. Artificial intelligence and technology are rapidly changing agriculture, but many cattle producers still aren’t using the tools already available to them. From flashlight farming and ranching in Arkansas to building tech companies and launching Herd Advisor, Gabe brings a unique perspective from both agriculture and the business world. The conversation dives into why so many producers struggle with record keeping, how technology can improve decision making and profitability, and where AI may start impacting everyday ranch management in the years ahead. They also discuss balancing innovation with preserving the lifestyle and traditions that make the cattle industry what it is today.Links:Herd Advisor Website: https://www.herdadvisor.com/ Herd Advisor Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/herdadvisor Herd Advisor TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@herdadvisorNominate or request to be a guest - forms.gle/fRkvzRenh7mqkDXV7 CattleUSA Insurance - https://info.cattleusainsurance.com/l/1102253/2025-06-04/288f5m⁠CattleUSA Website - https://www.cattleusa.com/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/cattleusamediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/cattleusa.media/Subscribe to our newsletter - https://www.cattleusa.shop/products/cattleusa-drive-premium-daily-newsletterCattleUSA Media - https://www.cattleusamedia.com/Lauren’s Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/_laurenmoylan/Lauren’s Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@ShowboatmediacoThe Next Generation Podcast Website - https://www.thenextgenag.com/Key Takeaways: AI and technology are rapidly entering the agriculture industryMany producers still struggle with practical record keeping systemsTechnology should improve profitability, not complicate ranchingBetter records lead to stronger long-term business decisionsPredictive tools and AI can help identify herd performance trendsProducers are facing increasing pressure around traceability and regulationTechnology adoption in agriculture often comes down to ease of useRanchers still value preserving the lifestyle and culture of the industryAI may eventually become a true business management tool for producersInnovation is moving quickly and producers need to stay ahead of itChapters: 00:00 Introduction + Gabe Wight background04:00 Building businesses inside and outside of agriculture08:00 AI, technology, and innovation in agriculture12:00 Why producers struggle with record keeping16:00 Technology that actually improves the bottom line20:00 Herd records, predictive tools, and decision making24:00 The future of AI and ranch management28:00 Balancing technology with the ranching lifestyleAI agriculture, artificial intelligence cattle industry, cattle ranch technology, herd record keeping, ranch management software, agriculture innovation, cattle producer technology, AI cattle ranching, herd advisor app, cattle business management, livestock record keeping, predictive analytics cattle, agriculture technology trends, ranch profitability tools, cattle industry innovation, precision agriculture cattle, cattle ranch data management, ag technology adoption, ranching future technology, beef industry innovation, livestock business tools, cattle herd management, agricultural AI tools, ranch efficiency technology, cattle operation management
