@steeke7 I like it! Never placed that you were in Perham. Spent my second spray season spraying spuds for RDO up there, good times and a good area.

Saw this on newagtalk today (posted awhile ago). Nice site that has a lot of good information and is well executed.

I built two MCPs: one for John Deere Operations Center, one for AcreBlitz.

Connect both to Claude and ask "can I spray Engenia on these fields?" Your field boundaries come from John Deere, ESA rules and label data from AcreBlitz, answer the question and Claude creates a clean report.

Compliance should be this easy. Data should be this connected.

@NickHorob 750…if I lose, I blame Grok, thats what it recommended based on the current replies.

You may need to go to bed...or see a therapist if your browser tabs look like this at 10 o'clock at night.

@NickHorob @steeke7 @nfaleide haven’t looked at it closely, but appears interesting.

I've been collaborating with the Fields of the World (FTW) organization for over a year through Taylor Geospatial and it's finally released publicly in cloud storage for anyone to use, at no cost.

@coletenold @NickHorob @roboflow SAM3 model is goated!

[Corey Fransen @corey_fransen]

@JanetteJoyB @NickHorob needs to enter the chat…

[Corey Fransen @corey_fransen]

@nfaleide @NickHorob I honestly just assumed it was Nathan’s side project

[Corey Fransen @corey_fransen]

Interesting how well the guidance lined up with the thread in newagtalk.

1. Pulled weather forecast for Bloomfield, MO
2. Searched extension/agronomic guides for "Valor/flumioxazin in preemergence soybeans"
3. Searched product labels

Every B2B software company is (or should be) building a "headless" version of their product. One that can be used by agents.

But "headless" doesn't mean "brainless".

You don't just wrap your existing APIs into an MCP server and call it a day.

The companies that succeed in the agentic era are those that take a thoughtful approach to *designing* an agentic user experience (AUX).

Yes, that will likely involve APIs, MCPs and CLIs.

But the difference will be in the *ergonomics* of the interface. We need to figure out *how* agents actually want to use our products/platforms. Because if all they wanted to do was use them like humans do, we have "computer use" for that.

I'm personally very excited about this new agentic world when it comes to B2B software.

HubSpot is all-in on building the #1 agentic customer platform.

Just posted this in a private Slack thread with the HubSpot exec team:

Being agentic is not just about agents running *on* our platform, it's about agents *running* our platform (being able to operate it). That's how you take AI from being a simple tool to a savvy teammate.

Something to think about if you’re applying Dicamba this year. You probably already have enough runoff points.

Interesting that Haiku models won’t use product label tools first, but does a docs search through all of the extension docs. While Sonnet and Opus will always defer to label tools first.

[Corey Fransen @corey_fransen]

@Dusty3080467325 @MaxCropProtect @ISUCropNews Not arguing the phenomenon, could make a good argument for improved stand-ability in the fall and other abiotic effects beyond yield too. It’s good chemistry, but you could have called it the “Pyraclostrobin Effect”, being generic and all.

[Corey Fransen @corey_fransen]

@Dusty3080467325 @MaxCropProtect @ISUCropNews “Headline Effect”…so branding still matters I suppose

[Corey Fransen @corey_fransen]

@Dusty3080467325 @MaxCropProtect @ISUCropNews Why not just drop the Headline altogether and save more money? Already have the group 11 from the Quilt, why add another at below label rate?

[Corey Fransen @corey_fransen]

@Dusty3080467325 @MaxCropProtect @ISUCropNews All for generics, but why not bump the rate up to at least the labeled range for Headline? Resistance buildup has a much greater long tail cost than just using the right amount the first time.

[Corey Fransen @corey_fransen]

This question from newagtalk actually surprised me, I expected it to fail given the use of acronyms and shortening of the product names. Along with Dual Magnum not being the simplest label to understand, I even struggle reading through it. Agentic file search for the win.

[Corey Fransen @corey_fransen]

@calcsam @NickHorob It just didn’t end up making sense for the product. Mastra performed well with it though and it was reliable, just didn’t end up making sense.

[Corey Fransen @corey_fransen]

A lot of love for what the Mastra team has built and continues to build.

[Sam Bhagwat @calcsam]

we just shipped Agent Editor, a visual interface for @mastra Studio that lets you and your team make changes without touching the code
