Nov 08, 2023

Technology is moving at such a rapid pace, it can be overwhelming. We’ve already got robotic weeders, seeders and drones, GPS and auto-steer. The latest big advancement is A.I. (artificial intelligence) that can give you much more than an accurate crop report.

There’s an app for everything and you can just text your agronomist while standing in a field. There is a mountain of new technology to improve your life but can you even keep up? Farmers Forum asked Western Ontario farmers: Is technology moving too quickly for you?

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
