EMILI’s Innovation Farms powered by AgExpert is featured in a recent article from The Grower highlighting innovations in agriculture across Canada.
Since 2016, EMILI’s founders have been guided by three strategic priorities: enable farmer-centric innovation, advance sustainable technologies and techniques, and increase digital agricultural skills and knowledge. Their exemplary vision holds true today with AI-powered BioScout in trials to detect early blight spores in potatoes, and with Cellar Insights in trials to extend long-term, post-harvest storage of potatoes.
As [Innovation Farms Manager, Leanne] Koroscil explains, Innovation Farms operates at two Manitoba locations: Rutherford Farms, a 5,500+ acre seed farm in Grosse Isle, and J.P. Wiebe Ltd., a 10,000-acre farm with approximately 3,000 acres dedicated to potatoes in MacGregor. Working alongside these farmers, EMILI creates a closed feedback loop with the ability to quickly evaluate ROI on new agriculture technology in real-world commercial farm settings.
