Farmers Edge and Nufarm Brasil Strike Landmark Partnership to Digitize Three Million Acres of Farmland in Brazil by 2023
Summary
Leveraging the strengths of both companies, Farmers Edge and Nufarm will provide improved crop protection and the modern tools growers need for making better-informed agronomic decisions to maximize profitability. Amid bountiful harvests, growers face a data-sparse environment that makes it challenging to collect and access the right field-centric crop information to optimize yields in an efficient and sustainable way. Farmers Edge brings unique digital infrastructure to the farm that collects data from any type of environment over wireless mesh or cellular networks. “Brazil is an agricultural powerhouse with a unique position as a top global producer that is also data-sparse compared to other areas of the world,” said Wade Barnes, CEO and co-founder of Farmers Edge. Moving at the speed of digital with an elite team focused on innovation, machine learning, and IoT, Farmers Edge is creating new opportunities for all stakeholders, and shaping the future of agriculture worldwide.
