Ag Geek Speak

Hudson Fuller, computer scientist and GK Technologies' newest software developer, discusses the upcoming ADMS software updates and his agricultural background while sharing insights into his current projects and future aspirations.
• Working on transitioning ADMS to the new .NET framework after Microsoft's discontinuation of the current framework
• Emphasizes that users will notice minimal differences with the update, possibly just crisper-looking buttons
• Explains the importance of diverse bug testing as programmers tend to test consistently while users interact with software unpredictably
• Began his agricultural journey at age three showing Baby Doll Southdown sheep at the Watertown Farm Show
• Showed various sheep breeds throughout his youth including full-blooded Southdowns and Hampshires
• Currently enhancing the Field Info tab in ADMS to automatically generate field boundaries and import NAIP images
