A big day for Grand Farm and an even bigger step toward what’s next. 🌱
Yesterday, partners, leaders, and community members gathered at the Grand Farm Innovation Campus to officially break ground on Phase II and celebrate the continued growth of the campus.
During the event, Senator John Hoeven announced $5 million in federal funding from the U.S. Economic Development Administration to support a new Indoor AgTech Test Track, creating more opportunities for year-round testing and validation of agricultural technologies.
Alongside the test track, Phase II will include a new Field Operations Facility and BenchBot, an open-source autonomous imaging platform, further expanding the campus’s capabilities for AgTech research, testing, and development.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this milestone and to the partners helping make the next phase of Grand Farm possible.
We’ve officially broken ground. Now, we keep building.
