The way we farm today is no longer working. Farmers have historically tried to improve yield and decrease labor through larger equipment and more chemicals, often leading to poor financial and sustainability outcomes. We are at the cusp of the next agricultural revolution, one that is characterized by the creation of smart and sustainable farm equipment. Monarch Tractor is kickstarting this industry shift through the energy transformation of the most important vehicle on the planet — the tractor. Combining the latest in electrification, AI, and data collection, the 100% electric, autonomous, smart Monarch MK-V Tractor looks and works like an existing tractor, while acting as an energy storage system and micro-grid with energy storage capabilities. Hear from their CEO to learn how the electrification of farm equipment will be the catalyst for an industry-level transformation that will create a more efficient, sustainable, and brighter farming future.
