When Dr. Sajal Das from Missouri S&T says this, he is talking about the crawly and flying creatures afflicting agriculture operations.  Das, a Curators’ Distinguished Professor of computer science at Missouri S&T, was recently awarded a $1 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop an automated pest management system for rural farms.
