On the surface, farming and digital automation don\u2019t have a whole lot in common. Dig a little deeper, though, and they actually do have some commonalities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each often gets generalized and even misunderstood. Farming, for most people, elicits the romantic, live-off-the-land family operation, when in fact, today\u2019s farming industry is incredibly high-tech, digitally-evolved, and a \u2018down-to-the-ounce\u2019 machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for automation, most people\u2019s interpretation often skews towards the negative: bots replacing humans or jobs becoming phased out and antiquated. But for most companies, automation connects dots, speeds up processes, eliminates tedium, and lets the humans working those jobs focus on what matters most \u2013 the impactful stuff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the time, automation is happening behind the scenes; but even as a silent partner, the end result for companies and their employees is impact and opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what happens when two misjudged industries pair up? Salesforce\u2019s MuleSoft and Bayer Crop Science are creating the perfect combination of crops in the ground and data in the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planting the seeds of change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere’s nothing more earthly than agriculture, but the industry is going through massive digital transformation right now,\u201d says Matt McLarty, Global Field CTO for MuleSoft. \u201cAgro-tech is helping agriculture industry players achieve massive scalability and utilize data in innovative ways.\u201d
