Materials Development Communications Sub-Committee/Jessica

  • Report from subcommittee calls 
  • Graphic representations about what AgGateway does

Andres has 2 summer interns helping with additional ADAPT documentation, and related ADAPT/precision ag items.

Also discussing - infographics created before 2020 changes – 1) general AgGateway, 2) soils and lab testing, 3) irrigation. Looking at how can we split these up in small chunks and add them to what we have on general overview information. Introducing prospective members to what AgGateway does. How do we give current and potential members tools to use with outside groups or their own leadership so those people truly understand what AgGateway does, what we've accomplished - from business and technical perspective. Words and pictures together - storylines depending on what info you're interested in. Also helps keep people from re-inventing the wheel. 

Soils group - they are working on survey for labs in U.S. (initially) and their software partners for data exchange - formats and how data exchange works, what they need. We're providing feedback on that survey. 

Looking forward to working with other groups in AgGateway on anything they need – materials development. 

Link to infographics would work well with social media.

Social media - The group is also working on more updated info on what's new with ADAPT, or how to use ADAPT - situations, etc. Did you know/check this out, etc.
