REAL GROWERS. REAL DATA. REAL SOLUTIONS. Western Growers announces the Grower Trial Network, bringing you tomorrow’s innovations today.
Western Growers (WG) and the Western Growers Center for Innovation and Technology (WGCIT) remain focused on helping solve the challenges facing our industry. With a shrinking labor pool and increasing costs of harvesting, there has never been a better time to match our growers with today's AgTech innovators. The WG Grower Trial Network will provide an exclusive opportunity to deliver on that goal, ensuring that our members can continue providing consumers with high quality, safe and affordable fresh produce. What the Grower Trial Network will do: WG and the WGCIT will identify, validate and work with leading innovation startups and our grower network to conduct critical field tests. The Grower Trial Network will include tests in different geographies across multiple crop types, to give WG members the most effective real-world test results for each startup. Key data on location, time of year, soil characteristics, and real-world measurements of the harvest automation solution will be provided for each case study. This data will be exclusively offered to Western Growers members and Grower Trial Network participants. Grower Trial Network participants will be matched with AgTech startups to ensure that solutions are field-tested and meet the most critical needs of WG member operations. We encourage you to learn more about participating in this exclusive program.
