# 172 - How AI and ChatGPT Can Transform How You Operate as Farm Business Owners with Dimity Smith


Listen Later

When you wear as many hats as our farming families do, time is one thing you never have enough of. 

 

From the kitchen table to the paddock, we’re constantly making decisions, solving problems, and figuring out how to do more with less. What if there was a way to take some of that pressure off, without handing over the reins? 

 

In this episode, I sit down with Dimity Smith, agri-business innovator, event leader, and one of the most refreshingly practical minds when it comes to tech in agriculture. Dimity runs tailored AI training sessions for farming families and small ag teams, helping them get started with tools like ChatGPT and put them to work in your business.  

 

Together with Sam Johnsson, we dive into how AI is already helping farmers: 

  • Draft job ads, safety procedures, and strategic plans, 
    • Make grant writing quicker and less painful, 
      • and even help with farm system reviews, one prompt at a time.  
      •  

        But more than the tools, this is about mindset. Dimity reminds us: AI is your co-pilot, not your competitor. It’s not here to replace your hard-earned wisdom, but to amplify it. And like any tool, it’s only as powerful as how you use it. 

         

        We also explore the fears many have about AI, and how simple curiosity might be the antidote to overwhelm. 

         

        Dimity puts it best, "You don’t have to be great at spelling, you don’t have to be techy, and you don’t need to have it all figured out.” She runs hands-on workshops through GRO Events Group and GRO Rural where she walks through it all slowly, answers your questions, and helps you use AI in a way that makes sense for your farm.

            Dimity, thank you for showing us that you don’t need to be a tech expert to start using AI, you just need to be open and willing to learn. And Sam, appreciate the way you bring these conversations to life. 

             

            Here’s to staying curious, having a crack, and using whatever tools we can to make things just a bit easier, one step at a time. 

             

            Keep winning.
