There are few industries as old-fashioned as dairy farming, an ancient form of agriculture that can be traced back over 11,000 years, according to ThoughtCo. However, some agricultural artificial intelligence developers are hoping to modernize the milk industry with the help of a slate of futuristic tools that could change dairy farming forever.

However, some agricultural artificial intelligence developers are hoping to modernize the milk industry with the help of a slate of futuristic tools that could change dairy farming forever.
Although the agriculture AI industry was valued at approximately $519 million in 2019, economists believe that high-tech farming is about to experience a major boom, estimated to grow into a $2.6 billion business by 2025 (via California Review Management).
Current and forthcoming AI-driven agricultural technology include futuristic farming tools like robot farmhands, which could help solve labor shortage issues by performing manual tasks; predictive software, which can help monitor and predict soil conditions, weather patterns, and other environmental elements; and data capturing drones that can pinpoint patches of diseased or pest-infested crops, making it easier to eradicate crop killers before they become an insurmountable — and expensive — problem.
While a large portion of the current farming AI has been focused on plant-based agriculture and crop production, companies like CattleEye, a U.K.-based cow monitoring company, intend to modernize the dairy industry one farm at a time using this sophisticated technology.
