More and more landowners are partnering with LandTrust to add recreation revenue to their operation. That means revenue for landowners, management for wildlife, and access for outdoorsmen. It's a win-win-win.

Happy to finally share what I've been working on. It's a little different approach than most traditional ag companies - achieving sustainability through profitability - not just for the land but also for our farmers and ranchers and their family legacy.

Always fun catching up with friends and colleagues to talk about the problems we face in agriculture, the things we've learned, and what the future might bring. Thanks to @rpethe for the great work he does with his newsletter.

Cool to see #VerticalFarming startup @KaleraProduce scaling at such a rapid rate, especially as they share our farmer first mantra. This farming trend could drive more locally-sourced food for consumers across the U.S.

Robots of all shapes and sizes are becoming available, and now they're highly customizable, too. @Sphero's new RVR robot might even have some field functionality. Who wants to be the first to try it?

Ever seen a #drone swarm? Thankfully they’re not as frightening as they sound. One swarm of 3 drones can cover 60 acres per hour, saving time & money spent on scouting.
