Across the country, university and industry-led smart farm testbeds are generating real-world data on what precision agriculture actually delivers, not just what it promises. This panel brings together researchers and industry leaders who've run these pilots to share hard-won lessons: which sensors and systems held up under field conditions, where the technology underperformed expectations, and what surprised them. Growers will hear candid takeaways on cost, reliability, and readiness for their own operations — grounded not in theory, but in what's already been tested, measured, and learned on working farms.
