Will AI replace Farm and Home Management Educators?
AI can do 68% of the work Farm and Home Management Educators do at least twice as fast. Real use has not caught up: none of their tasks show up in real AI use yet, but AI could speed up 10 of them. Robots can technically handle 1 physical task. 4 still need a person.

People already use AI for these tasks in real work, based on Anthropic's analysis of how Claude is used.

AI can speed these up by at least half, but real use has not caught up yet. These are next in line.

Robots can technically do this1 · 3% of time
Physical tasks that today's robots can perform in at least some settings. Robots are cost competitive for very few tasks so far, so this change moves slower.
- Provide direct assistance to farmers by performing activities such as purchasing or selling products and supplies, supervising properties, and collecting soil and herbage samples for testing.Robots: almost anywhere3% of time
Still needs a person4 · 29% of time
No real AI use, no proven AI speedup and no robot that can do it yet. This is the part of the job to build on.

Your week is not the average
Describe what you actually do and get a personal report: your own tasks, what AI can already do, what stays yours and a 90 day plan.
What this means
AI can do most of this work faster, but a real part of the job still needs a person. Real use is still behind at 0 out of 100, so the change here is only getting started. The people who learn which tasks to hand off will pull ahead.
What to do next
- Get ahead on the 10 tasks AI could do next. These move as tools improve, so learning them early pays off.
- Keep an eye on the 1 physical task robots can technically do. Cost keeps most robots out of work today, so this shift is slower.
- Build on the 4 tasks that stay human. This is where your judgment, skill and relationships matter most.
