Technology & Innovation

Modern Tools.
Historic Marshes.

Technology is built into how we farm every day—helping us see the marsh in new ways and make smarter decisions.

Why Technology Matters

Cranberry farming has always required ingenuity. From the engineering of the marshes themselves to the development of mechanical harvesters, innovation is part of our heritage.

Today's tools—drones, sensors, precision equipment, and custom software—continue that tradition. They help us farm more efficiently, respond faster to problems, and make decisions based on data rather than guesswork.

The goal isn't technology for its own sake. It's using the best available tools to grow better cranberries while being responsible stewards of the land.

Technology Stack

Drone Mapping & Photogrammetry

High-resolution aerial imagery captured by our drones is processed into detailed orthomosaic maps. These maps reveal patterns invisible from the ground—variations in plant health, drainage issues, and areas needing attention.

Centimeter-accurate imagery
Plant health analysis
Change detection over time
Export to GIS systems

GNSS & Auto-Steer Tractors

Our tractors use RTK-corrected GPS positioning for centimeter-level accuracy. Auto-steer technology enables precise, repeatable passes for harvesting, plowing, mowing, and other operations—reducing overlap and operator fatigue.

Sub-inch positioning accuracy
No missed fruit during harvest
Night operation capability
Precise boundary following

Sensors & Monitoring

A network of sensors across the marsh monitors water levels, soil moisture, temperature, and other critical parameters in real-time. This data feeds into dashboards that help us respond quickly to changing conditions.

AI & Predictive Analytics

We're actively exploring how artificial intelligence can help us farm smarter. From computer vision for pest detection to predictive models for yield forecasting, AI holds enormous potential for cranberry production.

Computer Vision

Automated detection of pests, diseases, and plant stress from aerial imagery.

Predictive Models

Forecasting yields, frost events, and optimal timing for operations.

Decision Support

AI-assisted recommendations for irrigation, pest management, and harvest timing.
