About The Live Webinar
Artificial intelligence and advanced technologies are playing an increasingly important role in improving efficiency, managing risk, and supporting long-term agricultural operations. As interest in siting data centers on farmland grows, producers must carefully evaluate key considerations, including impacts on soil productivity, infrastructure, energy and water demands, tax implications, and the future viability of their operations, while seeking appropriate professional guidance. Although data center development may introduce challenges related to land use and resource competition, it can also offer potential benefits such as infrastructure improvements, expanded broadband access, and new energy opportunities. Through thoughtful collaboration among developers, farmers, community members, and local leaders, it is possible to balance economic opportunity with the long-term sustainability of agricultural land and rural communities.
