FarmQA, a digital agronomy company, has announced the acquisition of Farm Dog, an agricultural data platform and subsidiary of Deveron Corporation. This move aligns with the former’s focus on enhancing supply chain transparency, food security and agronomic data solutions for agriculture professionals.
The acquisition follows notable growth for the company, which has increased its managed acreage from 2.7 million to over 30 million acres since late 2021. This expansion highlights the demand for data-driven agronomic services and FarmQA’s ability to meet global needs.
The company’s platform enables agriculture professionals, food companies, and CPG organizations to utilize digital tools for actionable recommendations. These capabilities aim to improve efficiency and create value within the global food system.
Kris Poulson, CEO of FarmQA, emphasized the integration of Farm Dog’s technology as a step toward improving tools for agronomists and growers. Poulson stated that combining the platforms would help address challenges in productivity, sustainability, and efficiency, with solutions covering the entire crop production cycle.
