Summer’s been off to a very busy start at FBN. Since launching the company in May, we’ve met thousands of farmers and added several million of acres of new data. FBN is now active in 20 states, with farmers in Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana recently plugging their farms into the network.
Farmers across the country are pushing for an independent, integrated platform to simplify their farm’s data and unlock the insights it contains. FBN is entirely user generated and democratizes agronomic information by making it fully accessible by the growers who create it.
It’s been tremendous to see this movement being recognized by a number of different outlets recently:
Farm Journal – Seed Data Forging Into Unprecedented Yield Territory
