The global organic vegetable farming market is projected to grow from $8.69B in 2023 to $11.11B by 2028. But how can farmers meet this growing demand while maintaining quality and cost efficiency? Enter LaserWeeder™: • Solves labor costs & availability • Increases crop yield & soil health • Payback in 1-3 years “Our organic carrot yield improved incredibly. We’ve seen a 15–20% yield increase and a substantial quality increase. Normally, with the hand crews going through and pulling weeds, it disturbs the carrots, but with the LaserWeeder, we no longer have that issue.” — Jordan Hungenberg, Co-Owner at Hungerberg Produce Co.

“The way I always looked at it was that we are building a piece of farm equipment that incorporates very advanced computers and technology, but it must be able to withstand the farming day-to-day realities like rough roads, harsh weather conditions, aggressive lowering and raising of the implement, and long-haul transportation.” - Mason Fontes View article: https://lnkd.in/gjy2NNsM
