AI Prompts for Farmers: Pests, Planting and Better Market Prices
From a quick crop diagnosis to a farm-to-market business plan — the prompts that help Kenyan farmers protect their crops and sell at better prices.
Describe, don't photograph
You don't need a photo for these prompts — a clear description of the crop, the damage and the growth stage gets a solid first guess. Confirm with an agronomist before buying expensive chemicals.
