Question: If you know of a market need, but can’t make the unit economics pencil out, what do you do?
Answer: Develop new hardware that is less expensive and reduce costs.
Valley was creating a monitoring system for their irrigation pivots that would count sprouts and track growth, but hadn’t been able to produce a solution at a price that made sense for farmers. The Main Branch worked with their engineering team to increase the number of cameras on pivots while decreasing production costs, delivering a product was profitable for consumers.
There are 500 farms in the US that grow on over 2000 acres and utilize over 50 pivots. With such a large area to monitor, struggling crops were not identified until it was too late to revive them and farm yields suffered as a result. By providing an early warning system to farmers based on visual data captured from pivots, the average farm can increase yield by 15% and capitalize on all of their farmable land.
