Whose data is it?

Cody Bailey, Reinke Manufacturing @ 2013 InfoAgPrecision ag involves gathering lots of data. What should happen with that data is a topic of discussion at the 2013 InfoAg Conference in Illinois.

Cody Bailey, a support specialist with Reinke Manufacturing attended the session on “the advantages of aggregating data.” He tells Brownfield precision ag fits well with his company but the whole industry could do more.

He tells Brownfield Ag News, “Companies are looking at different pieces of the elephant, so to speak. And if we can get some partnerships going on we could possibly look at it in a bigger, bigger way to impact the market more quickly and, obviously, add more value quicker to the grower.”

Bailey says he understands the proprietary concerns companies have about data, “But,” he says, “I think we also need to empower the grower that he can decide — it’s his data –- where he wants to send it and who he wants to have dabble in his data.  So, I think (data) compatibility – we can overcome that.  Just empowering the grower a little more to make the decision who he wants to have his data.”
