Agriculture Funding Solutions
Agriculture is a $1.05 trillion dollar industry in the U.S. with 2.2 million farms covering 922 million acres.
The agriculture industry is growing, thanks in part to technological developments.
Like any business, having a strong cash flow is essential to the survival and growth of your farm especially in the early stage of your business.

Financing To Grow Your Business
There are many challenges facing you in the agricultural industry – decreased work force, high wages and labor costs (accounting for roughly 40% of costs), increased food demand (world’s population is expected to increase by 7.4 billion by 2050), and land management are just a few.
The good news is Agricultural Technology (AgTech) is changing how the industry operates. Below are a few of the major trends in Agriculture that you may want to consider implementing. These will provide you more efficiencies, reduce costs, improve operations, and give you a competitive advantage.
1 – Farm Robotics – There are many different farm robotics technologies that have the ability to:
- Harvest and pick
- Soil and field analysis
- Weed control
- Sorting and packing
- Mowing, pruning, seeding, spraying, thinning
- Manage crop yields
- Detect common plant diseases
- And more
Ultimately farm robots will solve your labor shortage issues, allow you to meet the challenge for increased food demand projected over the next decade, all while reducing your overhead.
2 – Aquaponics – low cost method of growing plant in nutrient rich water instead of soil. This technology grows more food while using less water, land, and labor. Ultimately improving the environment by not eroding the soil.
