Reduce your farming costs with AI Robots

*Commercial trial runs across 7 farms at 10 acres each confirmed 50-70% reduction of Nitrogen fertilizer with just 8 split applications.

24/7 autonomous robots matching fertilizer to crop needs - better yields, lower costs, healthier soil. Currently available for grain corn, sweetcorn, feed corn, and silage corn.

Agriculture is In Crisis

2/3

of fertilizer is unused, causing 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions (2.6 Gt CO2 annually).

80%+

of agricultural land is affected by chemical overuse.

100,000+

miles of US waterways are impacted by agricultural runoff, the leading cause of water pollution.

1M+

farmers are aged 65+ highlighting an aging workforce.

Larger machinery

increases soil compaction, fuel use, and operational costs.

We've created simple robots designed to assist farmers

Cost Savings: Cutting nitrogen fertilizer use by up to 70%, this solution works across all soil types and saves corn growers up to $150 per acre.

Better Yields: 20+ targeted applications ensure every dollar spent on fertilizer maximizes growth, delivering nutrients when needed for healthier, more resilient crops.

Better Soil and Environment: A 150-pound lightweight robot reduces soil compaction while eliminating nitrogen leaching and cutting potent N₂O emissions. This approach also boosts organic carbon and microbial activity, promoting healthier, more sustainable soil.

FAQ'S

By delivering fertilizer directly to the plant roots on demand, our robots ensure maximum uptake, reducing waste and environmental impact.

We also leverage multiple sources of existing data (including satellite data, yield maps and swat maps) in combination with our own data autonomously collected from ground level. This data is continuously processed through advanced artificial intelligence algorithms to determine when and how much of the fertilizer needs to be applied on a per plant basis.

Yes, our scalable solution works for any farm size, from small family-run farms to large agricultural operations. For larger fields, multiple robots can be used together to cover more area.

Our cost structure is designed for a return on investment in less than a year, making it an economically viable option for farmers.
