NVIDIA's Founder Says Farmers Should Absolutely Use AI
“If I were a farmer, I would absolutely use AI.”
That’s Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA.
And he's pointing to one of AI’s biggest untapped opportunities: Farming. It’s an industry facing mounting pressure to produce more with less and it’s still massively under-automated.
DIT AgTech brings AI, nutrition automation, and real-time data to livestock production, helping ranchers boost productivity and get more from every animal.
And it’s already proven in one of the world's toughest livestock environments:
500+ units deployed
370,000 head of livestock on the platform
Up to 55% higher daily weight gain
Now expanding into the U.S. and Brazil, DIT AgTech is targeting a 300M+ head cattle market. And the biggest barrier to adoption? Gone. Ranchers get the technology for free when they sign up for a three-year nutrition plan.
DIT AgTech can scale adoption faster, which means more data and more recurring revenue.
Invest before this early-stage opportunity gets harder to access.

Before we jump into Bill Dickey congrats: Cam Schlittler (AL) and Jacob Misiorowski for winning the Cy Young Awards unanimously.
A total of 24 pitchers have won the Cy Young Award unanimously, accounting for 31 total unanimous selections in MLB history.
Breakdown by League and Multiple Winners
Total Selections. There have been 17 unanimous selections in the National League (including three MLB-wide awards won by Sandy Koufax before the award split by league in 1967) and 14 in the American League.
Three-Time Unanimous Winner. Sandy Koufax is the only pitcher to win unanimously three times (1963, 1965, 1966).
Two-Time Unanimous Winners. Five pitchers have won the award unanimously twice: Roger Clemens (1986, 1998), Greg Maddux (1994, 1995), Pedro Martínez (1999, 2000), Johan Santana (2004, 2006), and Justin Verlander (2011, 2022).
Same-Year Sweeps. Both leagues featured a unanimous winner in the same season only three times: 1968 (Denny McLain and Bob Gibson), 2022 (Justin Verlander and Sandy Alcantara), and 2026 (Cam Schlittler and Jacob Misiorowski)
Bill Dickey: The Yankees’ Original Great Catcher
Bill Dickey died 33 years ago tomorrow, on November 12, 1993. Before Yogi, Elston Howard, Munson and Posada, there was Dickey. He was the first of the great Yankee catchers, and he taught most of the ones who came after him.
Dickey was a railroad brakeman’s son from Arkansas. One weekend a friend asked him to fill in at catcher for a semipro team, and a scout spotted his arm. The Yankees picked him up on waivers for $12,000, and by 1929 the job was his. Miller Huggins told the young lefty to stop trying to hit like Babe Ruth and just drive the ball. He listened. He caught 100 or more games for 13 straight seasons, a major league record, and in 1931 he didn’t allow a single passed ball all year. He hit .313 for his career, .362 in 1936, and in 1937 he hit grand slams on back-to-back days.
He was quiet off the field but not behind the plate. In 1932 he broke Carl Reynolds’ jaw with one punch after a collision at home and got suspended for 30 days. He roomed with Lou Gehrig, was one of the first to see how sick Lou was, and broke down giving a speech at Gehrig’s memorial. Later he played himself in “Pride of the Yankees.”
Dickey played in eight World Series and won seven. No catcher has caught more Series games. In 1936 he played through a broken bone in his hand and kept quiet about it so the Giants wouldn’t know. He had four hits in the 1938 opener and singled home the winning run in the ninth inning of Game 1 in 1939. In Game 5 in 1943 he hit a two-run homer for a 2-0 win that clinched it over the Cardinals.
After serving in the Navy he managed the Yankees for part of 1946. Then he coached under Casey Stengel and turned Yogi Berra into a catcher. Yogi said he owed everything he did in baseball to Bill Dickey. Elston Howard said Dickey made him a catcher too. Bob Feller said he could have won 35 games with Dickey behind the plate. He made the Hall of Fame in 1954, and the Yankees retired number 8 for both Dickey and Yogi.

On Gehrig, at the 1941 memorial: “This memorial to Lou Gehrig is a tribute of the Yankees to the greatest first baseman and pal in the history of the game.” This is when he broke down.
On punching Carl Reynolds: “I never was so sorry about a thing in my life.”
On getting the call from George Weiss to come back and coach: “How would I? It was one of the most satisfying moments of my life.”
On the Hall of Fame: “The nicest thing ever to happen to me.”
On managing in 1946: “I have no hard feelings about not managing. I didn’t enjoy it.”

November 12 highlights and Historic Days!
Brought to you by: This Day In Baseball
This day in baseball has a deeper dive into every event from November 12
November 12, 1920 — Major League Baseball Owners unanimously elect Kenesaw Mountain Landis as commissioner for seven years. The selection of the tough-minded jurist is seen as a move by the owners to restore the public’s faith in the national pastime after being tarnished by the 1919 World Series scandal, a transgression that involved eight White Sox players who were paid off by professional gamblers to throw the Fall Classic against Cincinnati.
On November 12, 1923 — Giant manager John McGraw trades outfielders Casey Stengel and Bill Cunningham along with shortstop Dave Bancroft to the Braves for pitchers Joe Oeschger and Bill Southworth. Although the deal will have little impact for Boston or New York, three of the five players involved in the transaction, Stengel, Bancroft, and Southworth, will become major league managers and will be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
November 12, 1940 — Unwilling to yield to the players’ demands during the season, Cleveland Indians owner Alva Bradley finally fired manager Oscar Vitt and replaced him with Roger Peckinpaugh. It is Peckinpaugh’s second time as Cleveland’s field boss.
November 12, 1955 — Fred Hutchinson replaces Harry Walker as the Cardinals' manager. With the departure of ‘the Hat,’ the National League for the first time in its history will not have a player-manager in the circuit.
Fred Hutchinson, who was also a player-manager at one time, will lead the Cardinals for 3 seasons and had his most success during his 12-year managerial career with the Cincinnati Reds, leading them to the 1961 World Series. Huchinson finished his career with 830 victories and 827 defeats.
Walker, a master teacher, managed the Pittsburgh Pirates (1965-1967) and Houston Astros (1968–1972). There is a fabulous account of his career written by Warren Corbett, over at the SABR Bio Project. It is worth the read.
November 12, 1959 — Chicago White Sox second baseman Nellie Fox wins the 1959 American League MVP Award. Teammates Luis Aparicio and Early Wynn finish second and third, respectively. After Fox’s 1959 AL Most Valuable Player award, it wasn’t until Dustin Pedroia in 2008 that another American League second baseman received such an honor, the White Sox team that won its first AL pennant in 40 years since the 1919 scandal. He batted .306, had an on-base percentage of .380, and led the AL in singles. He also started and had four hits in two All-Star games and won his second Gold Glove. He also batted .375 in the World Series.
November 12, 1992 — Arbitrator George Nicolau overturns the suspension of Yankees pitcher Steve Howe for being too severe. The pitcher is re-signed by the team.
November 12, 1986 — Roger Clemens (24-4, 2.48), joining Denny McLain (1968) who accomplish the feat in 1968, becomes only the second American League pitcher to unanimously win the Cy Young Award when he captures all 28 first-place votes cast by the writers. The Red Sox 24 year-old right-hander will also be named the circuit’s most valuable player.
April 29, 1986, he fanned 20 Mariners in a 3-1 at Fenway Park, he had struck out eight straight batters, tying an AL record held jointly by Nolan Ryan and Ron Davis. Clemens also won his first 14 decisions and did not lose a game until July.
November 12, 2007 — Dustin Pedroia (.317, 8, 50) becomes the sixth Red Sox player and the first to win the American League Rookie of the Year since Nomar Garciaparra’s selection in 1997. The 5’9″ second baseman, who was listed first on 24 of the 28 BBWAA ballots, easily outdistances Rays outfielder Delmon Young (.288, 13, 93).
Milestones November 12
🎙️ Did you know? Born Today Jody Davis . . .
A fine catcher both offensively and defensively for the Cubs from 1981 to 1987, Davis became expendable in 1988 when Damon Berryhill emerged as a capable ML player, and he was traded to the Braves on September 29 after hitting a career-low .230.
Davis was originally drafted by the Mets, but he was traded to the Cardinals organization for Ray Searage after the 1979 season. He played only 58 games in 1980 after losing 50 pounds while being treated for an ulcer, then was drafted by the Cubs following the season.
As a rookie with Chicago in 1981, Davis grabbed the starting catching job by hitting .389 in May, but lost it the following spring to Keith Moreland before regaining it during the 1982 season. In 1983 Davis hit .271 with 24 HR and 84 RBI, and in 1984 he made the NL All-Star team for the first time as the Cubs won the NL East. Davis starred in the '84 NLCS, with seven hits in five games and home runs in Games Four and Five, but the Cubs lost the final three games to the Padres after taking a 2-0 series lead.
Davis hit 21 HR and won a Gold Glove in 1986, throwing out 78 would-be basestealers, but in 1987 his durability and consistency began to lapse. He had caught at least 138 games each of the previous four seasons, and had never gone on a ML disabled list, but in 1988 an early-season stint on the DL forced the promotion of Berryhill from the minors, and Davis would catch only 76 games.
