GREENFIELD INCORPORATED Closes Funding for Robots to Grow Chemical-Free Food

GREENFIELD INCORPORATED Secures Financing to Scale Robot Fleet for Chemical-Free, Carbon-Negative Food for Consumers, Food Manufacturers, and Broadacre Farmers

WICHITA, KANSAS, UNITED STATES, October 4, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- GREENFIELD INCORPORATED completed a round of funding to expand its F2F© | FLEET-TO-FARM throughout the growing season, bringing Robots-as-a-Service to broad-acre farmers and delivering regenerative agriculture ingredients at scale. GREENFIELD INCORPORATED closed the round in April, and immediately put the robot fleet to work in broadacre fields including soybeans and two types of grain sorghum. They are now completing the harvest of these fields and producing regenerative ingredients for human and pet food brands. GREENFIELD INCORPORATED uses robots to help regenerative agriculture scale without chemicals. Farmers use GreenField’s F2F© | FLEET-TO-FARM product, which offers Robots-as-a-Service. The new round of funding will allow GreenField to scale farm management and continue the development and field testing of next-generation bots that eliminate the need for herbicides such as glyphosate.

GREENFIELD INCORPORATED has now completed multiple seasons of testing and refining their existing robotics platform, enabling them to deliver the bots as a service to farmers, replacing some of the chemicals they would otherwise spray. “Regenerative Agriculture has a dirty secret. In order to scale, it’s still dependent on herbicides on broadacre fields. We are solving that problem,” said Clint Brauer, GREENFIELD INCORPORATED CEO.

“We’ve made major breakthroughs on the GreenField BOTony™ | Chem-free, Carbon-Negative Regenerative Process this year, and it’s been paying off, said Brauer. “We are here to restore consumer trust in the food system through a completely transparent BOTony process. The bots are swarming fields, and controlling weeds, and we’re set to refine further and scale this process. We’re seeing notable tailwinds because the bots replace volatile pricing on petrochemicals, and there’s a newfound geopolitical emphasis on increasing agricultural production and building a local, resilient supply chain. That is happening just as we’re seeing an accelerating consumer trend to remove chemicals from food and marked demand from food manufacturers to find healthy ingredients. It all means the time is right,” continued Brauer.

“In the United States alone, there are an estimated 250M acres of broadacre crops. Greenfield alone has been focused on chemical-free, carbon negative regenerative agriculture to those acres,” said Jerrod Westfahl, VP Investments,Innovative Livestock Services Inc., which participated in the round.

“No aspiring regenerative farmer wants to cover their land with chemicals. Unfortunately, there are currently no viable alternatives at scale. GREENFIELD INCORPORATED uses robotics to remove the need for chemicals and enrich the health, nutrient density, and carbon sequestration of the soil,” said Melanie Rosenthal, Partner atNarwhal Ventures, which participated in the round. “We're especially excited at the opportunity this creates for generations of family farms. Agriculture will be one of the most exciting sectors for investment and deep impact over the next few decades,” Rosenthal explained.
