Professionals, professors, scientists and some farmers will be traveling to Colorado next month for the 10th International Conference on Precision Agriculture in Denver … an event that happens every two years, and this year happens July 18th through the 21st at the Hyatt Regency Tech Center in Denver.

In this edition of the Precision.AgWired.com Podcast, sponsored by Ag Leader Technology, we talk to Raj Khosla, a professor of Precision Agriculture at Colorado State University and the chair of this year’s conference who says this a landmark event, as they mark 20 years of meeting like this.

“It started as a small workshop with a bunch of people in Minnesota.” He says there are several scientific and practioner-oriented papers at this year’s meeting for the anticipated 500 attendees.

While much of the conference is focused on information for the scientists and consultants, he’s hoping to attract more frontline farmers and producers.

“I strongly believe there’s a lot of information for them.”

More information, including how to take advantage of the early bird discount for those who sign up before July 9th, is available on the International Conference on Precision Agriculture website.

We’ll have coverage from the conference, and in the meantime, you can hear more of my conversation with Khosla in the player below. [wpaudio url=”http://zimmcomm.biz/precision/precision-podcast-10.mp3″ text=”Precision.AgWired.com Podcast”]
