Yesterday was a great day giving back and inspiring the next generation! 🚜🥬

Our team had the opportunity to participate in Desert Mesa Elementary School’s Career Day, where we showcased one of our most exciting and popular areas, our Drone Department. Trevor Adams and Bryce Carrasco did an incredible job sharing what a day in their world looks like and walking students through how we use drone technology in our spray program.

Seeing the curiosity and excitement from the students reminds us why we love what we do. Agriculture is evolving, and it’s amazing to be part of sparking that interest in future innovators.

Who knows… we may have met a few future drone pilots today! 🚁🌱

Strong voices, real conversations. Two of our leaders took the stage to talk about the future of ag technology and how the industry can better serve farmers.

Windshield Time: More conversations need to take place between growers and the innovators who wish to serve them.
