They Feed the World -- Now It's Time to Help Farmers Prosper
Backed by real-world data, regenerative agriculture is proving that farmers can restore the land, reduce costs, and increase profits — at a moment when support matters most.
FIRA USA 2025: Where Growers and Ag Robotics Innovators Lead the Future of Farming
FIRA USA 2025 will showcase a range of autonomous solutions addressing today's critical labor shortages and profitability challenges—from commercially available equipment already operating in fields to innovative prototypes nearing market readiness.
Advances in carbon dioxide IoT sensors enables the reduction of grain wastage in silo bags
To reduce this loss and ensure that harvested grain remains fresh and undamaged, the ongoing monitoring of the storage environment is essential. As such, farms and storage operators are turning to advanced monitoring technologies, with sensors placed in silo towers.
Growing Tomorrow: Reducing Hunger through Controlled Environment Agriculture
Developments in science and technology have enabled farmers to produce more and more, but today's food producers face many challenges: unpredictable weather, irrigation issues, soil degradation, and pollution.
Smarter seeds, slower systems: Why innovation won’t matter without regulatory reform
From drought-tolerant maize to flood-resistant rice, improved seeds are helping farmers maintain yields in increasingly hostile environments. But while the science has advanced, the systems around it have not.
Transforming Crop Insurance: How the SWITCH Model is Revolutionizing Hail Damage Assessment
Launched in 2021, the Severe Weather Induced Trends of Crop Health (SWITCH) model leverages remote sensing and proprietary Farmers Edge data models to create detailed, field-level maps of hail damage.
Not Your Average Ag Pest, Why Mosquitoes Deserve a Spot on the Radar
With the 2025 mosquito season upon us, we believe it’s important to spotlight the risks these pests pose to human health and overall agricultural productivity. Their expanding habitat range, driven largely in part by climate change, makes it clear: awareness is critical.
