Newswise — The University of North Dakota, in partnership with Iowa State University, Kansas State University and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, is leading a multi-institution Digital Agriculture Spoke grant of about $1 million from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
The NSF describes the UND-led project as follows: Digital Agriculture - Unmanned Aircraft Systems, Plant Sciences and Education.
“This is unequivocal testimony from the federal government that UND can lead Big Data efforts,” said Grant McGimpsey (pronounced mah-JIM-sey), vice president for research & economic development and co-PI on the NSF award. McGimpsey also is dean of the UND School of Graduate Studies.
