Bobcat Company Announces Investment in Agtonomy

Bobcat Company announced today a strategic investment in Agtonomy, a Silicon Valley-based, ag tech software company that helps agriculture and land maintenance operators optimize operations through sustainable, innovative solutions.

Bobcat’s equity investment is part of a broader strategic partnership with Agtonomy formed earlier this year to create new and innovative ways to enhance Bobcat equipment for increased productivity and performance.

Agtonomy’s technology allows farmers to remotely execute labor-intensive field tasks, such as weeding, spraying, mowing and transporting with more precision. The solution allows farming operations to automate workloads, increase labor efficiency and provides farmers with greater control over the economics of their operations.

This investment follows a February 2023 partnership Bobcat announced with Agtonomy to "advance productivity in the agriculture industry through collaboration in the areas of electrification, autonomous operation and digital technology."
