Our company's called Irrigant and we built Helios, which is a predictive engine to predict
root zone soil moisture and give farmers an easy way to have their when, where, how much
to water.
And then on top of that we've also built an agentic agronomist that can manage water usage
and knows your farm better than anyone except yourself.
And the goal of Helios is to optimize irrigation efficiency and make sure farmers have enough
data so that they can operate to a greater extent.
So, we hope that we can cut water costs and we can also protect from crop damage with
Irrigant.
So, right now we're on pilots on over 7,000 plus acres throughout Idaho, southern and
eastern Idaho, and we're constantly traveling to farms and talking to farmers, trying to
understand their needs and understand the problems that exist in agriculture and irrigation
today so that we can help fix them.
When we talk to a farmer, we ultimately, like I said before, we want to understand what
they're talking about.
They like products that work for them.
So, if we can show them that this will help save them time, save them water, and provide
a greater understanding of what's happening on their farm, then they will use it.
It's going to optimize irrigation efficiency and ultimately cut costs on farms and reduce
the time that they're spending diving through all this data.
Yeah, it gives them a science-backed way to make decisions that really count.
