Technology is now making huge inroads into the way we farm. From John Deer to Kobata, IT lowers costs, uses of fewer pesticides, and decreases harvest expenses. Drones are playing a HUGE part in farmers’ growing in real-time. Mapping plant health and spot spraying areas of concern instead of covering entire crops. However, this new technology has many barriers to entry, and Farm-i-tude is playing a critical part in mentoring pilots in this new technology.
The Farm-i-tude curriculum is in over 800 high schools creating job pathways. Farm-i-tude also operates in at least 23 states with pilots they have mentored and helped launch their own business by creating an understanding in compliance with their state Department of Agriculture and the FAA.
Due to the frightening loss rate of America’s small farms, including the 1000’s of acres of farmland being retired because of water shortage, Farm-i-tude is committed to supporting all small farms with as many programs as possible. The Farm-i-tude outreach program teaches the next generation of farmers “Smart Farming,” including zero-carbon farming, water conservation, and other precision technology. At the same time, our small farm showcases this Agriculture Tech in the field managing expenses, resources, and manpower.
Farm-i-tude doesn’t do it alone. Some of the key stakeholders in the industry also include:

Every one of these stakeholders is changing the outcome of the way we farm. Their contribution to bringing in new technology and overcoming integration hurdles is creating clean air, increasing yield by growing in real-time, using fewer chemicals, using less water, creating a positive carbon footprint, and creating jobs.
