acre manifesto

written by Lane.

our goal is simple: make self-driving tractors obtainable.

it's obvious, farming is a tech industry now--completely overrun by the generous idea of eventual autonomy from manufacturing giants who have no prospect of giving the farmer control.

we are disgusted. whether it's the lack of right-to-repair, roi-destroying prices and subscription fees, or the fraudulent disillusion that farmers need not know how their technology works, we find the status quo a disservice to the farmer.

but we strongly believe autonomy is still a beautiful solution. this is why:

• 42% of us farm labor is done by undocumented us immigrants. this is unsustainable.
• farmers are working 14 hour days (on the low end). we want to down-size the redundant tasks and optimize and maximize the farmers time.
• following the first point, autonomy is a reliable labor source. look at every factory line--they are filled with a (robotic) harmonious symphony of consistency.

our realer goal: bull our way to becoming the catalyzing distributor of the autonomous farming era.

beginning in place now is a revolutionizing transition of younger farmers seeking for advancement and we want to provide it.

my cofounder (Bennett) and I are two 19 year-olds with a grand vision to screw the big guys and build obtainability.
