The University of Illinois released groundbreaking research showing how AI robots are changing farming in America. Their 80-acre test farm uses self-driving tractors and animal health scanners. The robots can check thousands of plants per hour, helping farmers fix problems fast. Professor Vikram Adve said this technology helps grow more food without harming the environment.

Heritable Agriculture, a company started by Google scientists, announced a breakthrough in AI crop breeding. Their system studies 14,000 plant types to create super seeds that need less water and fertilizer. Traditional breeding takes 10 years, but their AI does it in 1 year. This could help crops survive extreme weather caused by climate change.

European scientists developed an AI weather helper that protects farms from disasters. The tool combines 50 years of weather data with crop science. It shows farmers maps of danger areas and explains its predictions clearly. This helps farmers prepare for heat waves or floods weeks before they happen.

Canada's Agriculture 2.0 event showcased flying farm robots called smart drones. These drones take detailed pictures of fields to spot sick plants. Dr. Farhad Maleki explained how the drones help use 30% less water by showing exactly where crops need irrigation. Farmers at the event said this technology helps them grow more food on the same land.

At an Ohio farm conference, experts demonstrated new AI tractors that work without drivers. The machines use special cameras to avoid obstacles and pull weeds precisely. Another tool called "weed-sensing tech" sprays chemicals only where needed, reducing pollution. Farmers said these inventions help them save money and time during busy harvest seasons.

Small farms are getting help too. Engineers created simple AI tools that work on basic smartphones. These apps can identify plant diseases using phone cameras and give advice in multiple languages. This helps farmers in remote areas who don't have internet access get expert help instantly.
