Published purpose

EMS’s Crop Sense technology enables crop producers to track water, fertilizer and carbon across the broad acres of farmland that make up the world’s breadbaskets. The Crop Sense is a revolutionary soil sensor that agronomists and farmers can use where they wish, and for as long as they wish to answer the questions that keep them up at night. EMS’s decision support system links seamless with today’s farm management systems enabling producers to optimize food production while minimizing greenhouse gas emission and fertilizer runoff. In partnership with SDTC, EMS is building tomorrows soil sensors that will form a key component of the sustainable agriculture technology stack needed to reduce greenhouse gasses from production, while maintaining farm profitability and production capacity.
