Farmblox

Our own William Brigham, a maple and dairy farmer turned automation engineer, was recently featured in an article for The Associated Press on how #automation is impacting the future of farming. "Since 2021, Brigham’s family farm has been using Farmblox, an AI-powered farm monitoring and management system that helps them get ahead of issues like leaks in tubing used in maple production. Six months ago, he joined the company as a senior sales engineer to help other farmers embrace technology like it." https://lnkd.in/ea3fTR2K

Welcome Nathan Rosenberg, Founder & CEO and Marc Printz, Founder & VP of Biz Dev at Farmblox on this episode of 🔥 The Lantern 🔥 Farmblox is an AgTech platform to help farmers find problems on their farm from their phone so they can spend less time looking for problems and more time solving them. 🔍 What’s going on inside the startup this fall? 🔎 They started in the maple syrup market across New England, Canada, the Midwest, Oregon and beyond. Now the team is currently expanding into vineyards and orchards because they have the same challenges. Their focus? Building stuff. They are taking the learnings from last season and incorporating them into their next product cycle 🤔 What have Nathan & Marc learned from building an AgTech startup that touches the real world in a major way that they would pass along? 🤔 Building an AgTech company is hard! Product updates and testing has to happen in the offseason when farmers are not using the product. They’re working on ways to do their updates & testing before the critical farming season. These are difficult outdoor environments with no cell service or internet, dealing with snow, ice, animals, and tempature challenges. It’s an unforgiving environment! There are various things that come up in the great outdoors and nature you can’t plan ahead for. 🤝 How can we help? 🤝 As they expand to vineyards and orchards any land owners, farmers, or anyone connected to that space should reach out to Farmblox! We know a lot of you will be visiting those places this fall.. The Lantern is brought to you by MGMT Boston and Innovation Economy Banking at J.P. Morgan this September

Great interview with Pulse 2.0 and our CEO Nathan Rosenberg: https://lnkd.in/esjp6XMc “U.S. farmers spend up to 75% of their time scanning their farms for issues, leading to a $17.5 billion challenge due to labor costs. Farmblox addresses this by combining a sensor ecosystem, carbon sequestration monitoring, and AI-driven workflows, resulting in up to 50% savings in labor costs, reduced water usage, and new revenue streams for modern farming. By reliably monitoring remote farmland in all weather conditions, Farmblox provides farmers with a simple dashboard to quickly identify and address operational issues like irrigation leaks, weather risks, and equipment failures, allowing for more efficient farm management.” #agtech #startup #growth
