GreenField Inc. is expanding its existing partnership with MKC to coordinate logistics for its latest consumer packaged goods (CPG) partners: regenerative, plant-based baking mix company Snacktivist Foods and premium pet food brand Canidae.
Through this partnership expansion, MKC manages the intake, storage and cleaning of crops – such as corn, soybeans, and sorghum – harvested by GreenField's robots, as well as coordinate delivery to B2B customers across the U.S.
"GreenField's ability to foresee and address industry opportunities has contributed to MKC's growth while simultaneously benefitting our customers, partners, and overall industry," said Erik Lange, COO, MKC. "As our industry continues to evolve, MKC is committed to investing in innovative technologies that are impactful to our agricultural systems."
GreenField robots take care of weeds without chemicals
"Our bots show up, swarm farmers' fields to cut down the weeds and replace some of the chemicals," said Clint Brauer, GreenField CEO. "Farmers take the crops to an MKC facility and MKC handles the process from there."
GreenField has completed multiple seasons of testing and refining the robotics platform, and delivering the bots to farmers as a service, replacing some of the chemicals they would otherwise spray.
