Why AI Hasn't Changed Your Farm Yet (And What Happens When It Does) | Ep. 135

Artificial intelligence is everywhere. New software, sensors, robots, and dashboards promise to revolutionize dairy farming. Yet for many producers, the day-to-day reality hasn't changed nearly as much as the headlines suggest.Recorded live at the MilkPro Summit 2026 in Brazil, Paul shares one of his most requested keynote presentations, drawing on his experience as a dairy farmer and his research visiting hundreds of farms around the world. He explains why AI isn't fundamentally a technology story—it's a management story.Through practical farm examples and real-world frameworks, Paul introduces the concepts of the AI Profit Gap and the Four Levels of Farm Data Value, showing why many farms have invested heavily in technology but still struggle to make better decisions. More importantly, he lays out a practical roadmap for how producers can move from collecting data to creating measurable improvements in profitability, leadership, and farm performance.Whether you're just beginning your AI journey or already have robots, sensors, and software across your operation, this keynote offers a practical way to think about what comes next.MEET THE HOSTPaul Windemuller is a dairy farmer, entrepreneur, Nuffield International Farming Scholar, and host of the AgCulture Podcast.
