@MeredithGuthr15 @originalstinger @DPIRDbroadacre @DPIRDWA A useful tool that a version of the same soil water model implemented in APSIM with a simple model for crop water demand.

This is an interesting read about deep learning (I've been using it to map wheat yield using remote sensing). You've got to love an article that leads with a reference to Edwin Abbot's "Flatland" https://t.co/JUxDM5r22L

How can data collected on broadacre farms be combined with biophysical and agro-economic models to help growers improve management decisions? Dr Fiona Evans @bigagdata is on a quest to figure it out. Read about it in #PrecisionAgNews

Moreover, use of "I" and "we" is common in acedemic writing, and it's increasing all the time: https://t.co/KKA5WmaGDF

A recent review of one of my postdoctoral researchers' articles stated: 'The article should be written impersonally, avoiding the word "we"'. My opinion is that this recommendation is antiquated and unnecessary. What do you guys think?

Use of first person pronouns is often required to use active voice. Passive voice is not only old-fashioned, it's weak.

@rfunctionaday @rstatstweet What's wrong with 'paste'?
