Fields of Dreams Farms, Inc. in Alexandria, IN a family run corn and soybean farm.

Big things coming soon...building the machine that builds the machine in ag!

@jsreinecker Hilarious and spot on!

@FrankCReid @AlexanderPayton In not selling it. I farm so dont want unlimited farm development. My use of it thus far has improved efficiency in chemical use, fertilizer use, seed use, and automation of real world equipment. If you haven't experienced these 1st hand its hard to quantify to the public.

@ChrisSandvick @perrymetzger We have a leg up in compute today. The social media bonanza is almost guaranteed to be backed by a foreign state actor in an attempt to divide. I saw the digital prison flip too at least they are using AI to target the messages to the masses. Idiotic ppl took the bait.

@perrymetzger @adamzwasserman I cant beleive how many posts have that stupid emoji. Its a tell that the reposted article that will follow will inevitably be ai generated. The irony is so deep on that one and the poster almost never seems to understand.

[Brian Petty @brianppetty]

@ZainabSana2622 Thats absurd. The report only references the actual isolated valley that this is positioned in. Not the whole state. The fact you would even start to believe that the whole state of Utah nighttime temps could be affected shows you need to quit junk posting.

@melvynx I see the posts, dont get it either, the worst is the max plan I made 1 request and hit limits crowd. Is it just click bait or what? I try to burn through my max 20x and can't touch it. Effectively unlimited.

@shanaka86 We have no shortage of grain. The 4 million acres he's worried about is normal crop mix changes. This is pure rage bait and looks ridiculous to a farmer. Typical news pushing something they have no clue about.

@iamyourfarmer **but ai HaS nO use in aG!** How many times I've heard this nonsense...Claude code is highly underestimated...by many in ag. Like you said if you can dream it you can build it now. Some will, some won't. But its a force that will give advantages.

[Brian Petty @brianppetty]

@_TheMizzouTiger As for spreadsheets you probably have one you like right? Give it to it. And just chat. You will be surprised. Tell it about your farmand how you use the spreadsheet, ask it what it needs. Tell it your goals.

[Brian Petty @brianppetty]

@_TheMizzouTiger Pro plan $20/month. Screenshot a yield map (background imagery too). Pair it with soil tests. And, just ask it what it sees. The more years of yield maps the better start with one field. Ask it to add weather to insights. It will steer you. You will steer it.

[Brian Petty @brianppetty]

@_TheMizzouTiger Claude can does this right now for very little. Instead of cursory using articles to form your opinion try it. Take a couple complicated spreadsheets, pdfs, or other docs you have farm related. Feed it in a conversation and see the insights. Just try it no hype.

[Brian Petty @brianppetty]

@BeetfarmerDave I dunno if you bought FSD or if you still can...you'll tell yourself you dont need it. Then once you use it...you can't live without it. Modern versions of it are well....ridiculous in an awe inspiring kind of way.

[Brian Petty @brianppetty]

@BeetfarmerDave We have an X. Literally will skip past my F-150 to drive it. Most fun you will ever have in a vehicle. You'll get naysayers but you'll drive it around and have your mind blown from the software/engineering alone. We can never go back. Enjoy.

[Brian Petty @brianppetty]

@JoshDarwin8 @NickHorob @exolabs It can be as simple as claude code or claude desktop. MCP server or lately skills...and chat. Then its not to much different for openclawd although they have some nice pre made skills ready to roll...just enable them and point to the database and have your mind blown.

[Brian Petty @brianppetty]

@JoshDarwin8 @NickHorob @exolabs Honestly, this will scare most people but if you have backups...unrestricted is where the cool things start to happen. The AHA moments (what trends do you see in this data for fun). Thats why I wanted to local to keep data locked...but the power just isn't to potential...yet.

[Brian Petty @brianppetty]

@NickHorob @JoshDarwin8 @exolabs Yes. Ive got most farm data i can think of in PostgreSQL databases. Hacked together some API scrape to automate our grain inventory, contracts, etc flow. Started UI. But connected openclaw...wow. Its a whole different thing than opening the UI. Just asking is next level.

[Brian Petty @brianppetty]

@NickHorob @JoshDarwin8 Its bad. And not documented well. It works well with the right harness (Qwen code) and its bleeding edge through claude code. Latest ollama builds work. But its just not worth it yet. Another gen or 2 and 100tps local inference and im all in.

[Brian Petty @brianppetty]

@JoshDarwin8 @NickHorob Ive got a 5090rtx on a linux build. Have eyed @exolabs to have it handle the big load and apple stuff for token gen but honestly its all a generation to early...its all a compromises so far. Now for openclaw yes its doable IMHO. Deep codebase is an exercise in frustration.
