Deveron, an agriculture digital services provider, has expanded its network of soil sampling data technicians by adding new hubs in Saskatchewan, Canada and Nebraska in the US.
The new hubs increase Deveron’s capacity by up to 150,000 acres of soil sampling per season and the company continues to develop a turn-key solution to increase soil sampling volume.
Deveron claims to position itself as a partner to offer consistent pricing, standardised products and services with better customer support across all its territories.
Deveron president and CEO David MacMillan said: “We believe that many of the best practices in agriculture do not get utilized because they are cost prohibitive and difficult to manage at scale across significant and diverse geographies.
“By building a network of soil sampling technicians focusing on consistent, timely and repeatable soil sampling for agribusiness, we believe farmers can benefit from economies of scale and will sample more, ask more questions about how they are applying inputs and ultimately want more digital recommendations in terms of how to improve yield and reduce costs on the farm.”
Deveron recently added four new enterprise customers serving thousands of farms
Recently, the company added four enterprise customers, that collectively service thousands of farms in the US and Canada. This opportunity provides a strong base to sell its analytics services, the company said.
With the new relationships, Deveron aims to build reliable, price consistent and scalable options for agribusinesses and farmers in North America.
It also aims to expand into key agricultural markets where 58.9 million acres are collectively seeded with field crop.
In addition, one of the key strategic objectives of the new relationships is to expand the company’s total farm acres under management.
MacMillan said: “Today marks a significant step forward for our team in our goal to improve soil health by expanding into a combined market of 58.9 million acres. We are looking forward to building value with our new partners and driving significant volume growth in both soil sampling and analytical offerings in the years to come.”
