FarmWise

FarmWise develops advanced AI-powered agricultural machinery to automate weeding and cultivation for specialty crop farmers. The company’s Vulcan precision weeding implement uses computer vision, machine learning, and high-speed actuators to accurately distinguish between crops and weeds, mechanically removing weeds without the need for herbicides. Built for durability and adaptability, Vulcan features brighter-than-the-sun lighting, high-frame-rate cameras, and real-time calibration, ensuring consistent performance across different field conditions, crop growth stages, and weed pressure levels. With over-the-air software updates, in-cab interface controls, and a modular component design, the company’s technology maximizes uptime and efficiency, offering farmers a scalable, high-precision alternative to labor-intensive manual weeding.

FarmWise offers flexible pricing options, including outright sales, lease-to-own programs, and financing plans to help farmers integrate its technology with minimal upfront costs. The company sells Vulcan as a tractor-pulled smart implement, allowing farmers to own the equipment while benefiting from ongoing software improvements and an annual service and support package for an additional recurring fee. This hybrid model—hardware sales combined with recurring subscription fees—ensures that farmers receive continuous updates and assistance to maximize performance.
