HeatSpring: Data-Driven Farm Course Offer: We're interested in building a course that teaches farmers how to incorporate data into their planning and operations. It will be 'hands-on' and challenging. We plan to partner with one of the trade magazines or associations to promote it. It will be a revenue-share, with the instructor taking the largest share. We will pre-sell seats in the course, so it will only be built if there's sufficient demand to make it worthwhile. Response: Teaching Farmers to Work With Big Data
