Description

New equipment alone won’t solve every challenge in swine production. The real value comes when technologies and systems work together to improve efficiency. In this episode, three guests share their perspectives on how to make technology work smarter, not harder, and what producers should consider when making future decisions.First, Erin Brenneman and Jeremy Robertson of Brenneman Pork discuss the complexities of integrating different technologies, opportunities for overlapping data, and how success ultimately comes down to three essentials: air, water, and feed. You can also watch their full presentation from this year’s Iowa Swine Day: https://youtu.be/cQ99YHHB88w?feature=shared.Then, Dr. Suzanne Leonard from North Carolina State University emphasizes the importance of keeping technology adoption simple. She explains what value really means, considerations for budgeting and implementation, and how to avoid overcomplicating the process.
