Our Story
Growers are at the center of what we do.
Based in the American West, our team spent a year traveling farms. We rode along in grower’s trucks, walked their fields, pet their dogs, and talked for hours on their porches to learn key capability gaps.
Agriculture faces unprecedented challenges from the changing landscape, water cycle, and market forces. A proactive shift towards data-driven decision making must occur to ensure food and water security and improve land utility for growers.
Cloudseed’s pilot users are identifying new ways to improve food production using variable water in changing conditions. So they can plant smarter and gain more control in the marketplace than they’ve ever had before.
Check out our Stories page to see where we’ve been, and watch for our first product release in Q3 of 2024.
