3 months ago we opened @ReservoirFarms. 1 hour from Silicon Valley. 90 minutes from SF. it's become the densest concentration of agtech startup activity on the planet. founders, growers, robots, real dirt. every single day. July 8 we open the farm to the public for the first time. you should come. more details soon.

@bernsteind thanks for sharing our work with the world! Hello everyone, I'm the founder here at @tricrobotics and it's incredible to see so much engagement. Please feel free to AMA about TRIC and our experience with @reservoirfarms. It's a total game changer for building in ag.

autonomous robot driving through the field at night. no chemicals. no pesticides. just UV light killing pathogens and pests while everyone sleeps. this is @tricrobotics. this is what chemical-free pest control looks like at scale.

SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell is one of the most impressive people in America. Her interview on CNBC is a must-watch. I loved her answer about SpaceX’s role as a government contractor: “We’re always going to support our government. We’re a company of patriots, and we want to make sure our government has access to the leading technology and the best stuff. And I think we provide the best stuff.”

I would love to come out and see what you all are building.

this is our office. Salinas, CA. the most productive agricultural valley on earth. robots go in the barn, come out the other side tested in real dirt. if you're building rugged physical AI and you haven't been here, you're missing something.

soil with organic matter. robot straddling the rows. no chemicals. BHF Robotics (@BHFrobotics2142) doing electric weeding in real dirt. this is what chemical-free looks like at scale.

this is a foundation model reconstructing an orchard in 3D and driving a machine through it. canopy, terrain, rows. no GPS lock required under trees. Via @niday_tyler CEO of Bonsai Robotics

This is a zero shot model, no code between 2-D image input and 3-D model output.

people ask what an on-farm incubator looks like. looks like this. real lettuce, real dirt, real operators next door. startups inside that barn get to break things 50 feet from production ag. cc @ReservoirFarms

a @burro_ai autonomously delivering ice cold water bottles to growers and founders at this Monterey County field day. the robot worked flawlessly. the humans were grateful. this is the future of farming.

this is a computer that drives through a vineyard and sprays with surgical precision. Bonsai Robotics Amiga Max. hard tech is beautiful.

Today we hosted @SuccessfulFarm for a tour of @ReservoirFarms and briefings with several startups in residence. An opportunity to discuss some of our favorite things — technology for resilience, substitute tech for chemical farming, and American dynamism. Thank you @WesternGrowers for organizing.

Follow @rickstephens01 — he talks to every startup before they join @ReservoirFarms. Ricky also grows the best ‘stache in AgTech. Just sayin’.

Computer vision in a lab: works great. Computer vision in the field: maybe not so much. Dust, low sun, overlapping leaves, shifting soil — perception in ag is one of the hardest problems in physical AI. @verdantrobotics built the Sharpshooter: a tractor-mounted robot using spatial AI and 4K vision to target individual plants — millimeter precision, at scale. Gabe Sibley (CEO) is speaking at Ruggedize, Aug 26–27 at Reservoir Farms. Apply now: ruggedize.ai #AgTech #PhysicalAI #AgRobotics

We put our sticker on a @MilwaukeeTool case and it felt right. Stickers on cases @ReservoirFarms.
