About two months ago, we wrote an article on Farm-Ng, an agriculture startup in Watsonville that’s utilizing off-road robots and software to innovate agriculture and reduce the back-breaking aspects of farming. Farm-ng's flagship product is the Amiga, a modular, affordable electric vehicle system for farms that uses some of the same technology that we’ve seen on the Moon. It can carry a heavy payload of up to 1000 lbs and be used for several applications in farming as well as for research. Congressman Jimmy Panetta recently stopped by Farm-Ng to give the Amiga a test ride. Check out the short video on Farm-Ng’s Linkedin post below.
