The company is stepping into new-world territory, implementing AI to combat invasive weeds and other large-scale farming issues. With 201-500 employees and $30.1m in total funding, Blue River Technology operates in the B2B agriculture and machine learning space, addressing the global farming market's growth while helping an industry that has been slower to digitize embrace digital transformation and autonomous farming solutions.
