FarmWise & RDO Equipment Co. Form Exclusive Partnership to Revolutionize Precision Weeding in Specialty Crops

FarmWise has established a strong reputation for cutting-edge, AI-powered weeding solutions for vegetable growers. Vulcan, the company's latest product, has proven to be a key resource to combat constrained and increasingly costly hand labor on the farm by combining precision weeding with unmatched productivity. Taylor Farms and Barkley Farms are two of the leading produce companies in the Southwest that have adopted Vulcan as part of their farming operations. With this agreement, RDO will bring Vulcan to more growers within existing and new regions as an exclusive sales and field support partner to FarmWise.

"We are excited to join forces with RDO, a company that embodies the same vision and relentless focus on their customers. This partnership takes FarmWise's commercial and customer support capabilities to the next level and reinforces RDO's leadership in the adoption of productivity-enhancing technologies", says Tjarko Leifer, CEO of FarmWise.

"For Taylor Farms, Vulcan builds on the foundation of success we have experienced working with FarmWise since 2019. We purchased our first Vulcan last December and today run two of them. We have weeded over 2,500 acres already this season. We are seeing strong value in our fields and expect Vulcan to be a significant part of our operations going forward because it helps address labor challenges in today's agriculture", says Ted Taylor, president of agricultural operations at Taylor Farms.
