WayBeyond for investors
You don’t have to convince a grower or seed producer there’s climate change. You don’t have to persuade them to see that the world is running out of water and fertile soil. You don’t need to tell them they need better insights to grow their crops or create seeds that will need to grow in harsh conditions but have increased yields. They know.
The average age of a grower is 60 years old. Maybe they will work for another 30 to 40 more crop cycles, which means they can’t make mistakes. They know that too. They also know technology is coming at them faster than a new seed can be developed. They are keenly aware they need insights they can easily and quickly implement to use now to prepare for what’s coming.
Crop management is the answer.
It isn’t a niche market; it’s a foundational technology that underpins every successful market segment around the world. WayBeyond is crop management. We utilize more than three billion data points for our customers to help them grow our food. Farming is foundational, and crop management is your investment blue ocean. Why wait to build the future? It’s here now.
