On Friday, August 28, 2026, Western Growers will host its inaugural Field Demo Day event that took years of vision to become reality.
Developed in partnership with Reservoir Farms, Western Growers’ Senior Director of Commercialization Ben Palone has created the environment for companies like Verdant Robotics, Stout Industrial Technology, Inc., Ecorobotix, Niqo Robotics Axis Ag, Inc., SeedSpider, FarmWise (acquired by Taylor Farms), and Carbon Robotics to demonstrate product value in a field grown specifically for this purpose.
This event is the first of a series that is designed to showcase agtech solutions in a real agricultural environment. Attendees can assess a pre-treatment section where demonstrators have performed a weeding pass and growers will see how the crop grows and how well their technology removed weeds.
In an answer to finding where the rubber meets the road to move agtech from promise to production, the Field Demo Day is a valuable time investment to see demonstrations on someone else’s crop first.
