Semios to Acquire Agworld
Semios, best known in the permanent crop market for its precision-farming platform, is acquiring farm management platform Agworld. The combined company will service growers, agronomists and ag retailers in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and South Africa.
“Through the acquisition of Agworld, Semios is furthering its commitment to simplifying the grower’s experience through leveraging technology to deliver critical insights,” says Dr. Michael Gilbert, CEO of Semios. “Agworld and Semios offer farmers complementary solutions that are helping growers manage risk and optimize yields, more sustainably. The true impact of our combined forces in the global agricultural industry will soon be realized through the increased velocity of our R&D efforts and getting new products to market, benefitting growers who are being tested by mother nature like never before.”
“Empowering growers with data for better analysis, insight and action is at the core of what we do,” said Doug Fitch, CEO of Agworld. “The agricultural industry has long demanded the benefits of managing their crops from start to finish with a single solution, which is why I’m so excited about this next step of the journey for both Agworld and Semios together. The availability of important data to growers and their stakeholders for real-time decision-making through one platform is key to improving the sustainable performance of farming operations.”
“We’re thrilled to welcome Agworld to the Semios family, securing the future of independent farm data ownership in Agriculture. Semios and Agworld are closely aligned in our values and culture and are driven by a shared goal of driving much needed innovations, and ultimately profitable solutions that make a difference to growers and their service providers,” adds Gilbert.
In June, Semios announced the acquisitions of Altrac and Centricity to deliver more value to farmers through automation, control and compliance.
