LINCOLN, Neb. — Farmers are hitting their fields for this year's harvest.
Meanwhile researchers at the University of Nebraska Lincoln believe they've developed a first-of-its-kind way to artificially play out thousands of "what if" harvest scenarios using a digital twin.
The goal according to UNL Agronomy and Horticulture professor James Schnable is to develop more productive and resilient crops in the future.
"By having digital twins and being able to simulate environments that haven't occurred yet but are likely to occur in the next five or 10 years, we can be better prepared in terms of the corn and the other crops farmers are planting," Schnable said.
