Top SchoolKyler Laird is an advisor and hands-on agricultural technologist with 10 years of professional experience and a lifelong background in farming and systems engineering. He combines a Computer Science and Agricultural Systems Management education with practical operations—managing 2,000 acres and personally planting/harvesting over 1,700 acres—while developing autonomous field robots by modifying tractors (Tractobots) that have planted and harvested hundreds of acres. Kyler has founded and led ventures (Sabanto Ag, Lairdscape) focused on increasing equipment utilization and scaling planting operations, and he brings institutional IT experience designing instructional and research computing infrastructure at Purdue and UC Merced. Based in Rensselaer, Indiana, he bridges the gap between legacy heavy equipment and modern automation, applying cloud/virtualization know-how to rugged, real-world farm systems. Notably, his Tractobot projects earned recognition in the 2017 agBOT Seeding Challenge, reflecting both practical innovation and iterative field testing.
