Turning next-gen ag technologies into field-ready tools that grow results, not just ideas.
The Forge is where we hold leading agtech to the flame of traditional agronomy and meld these platforms, data, sensors, artificial intelligence, and programs into new tools for farmers, ranchers, and ag retailers to use for decades to come.
In an era where agriculture is challenged to produce more with less, The Forge is where bold ideas are transformed into real-world solutions.
At Kelly Hills, we believe the future of farming lies in the union of cutting-edge autonomy and time-tested agronomy. This is not just a testing ground—it’s a crucible where aerial drone systems, in-field sensors, artificial intelligence, and analytics are melded with boots-on-the-ground expertise. The result?
A new generation of tools designed to generate measurable ROI for growers. From data to decisions, every project in The Forge is built with one mission in mind: to deliver integrated technologies that are field-ready, scalable, and rooted in real agronomic impact.
