FarmSense’s core offering is its patented FlightSensor™, a field-deployed device that automatically counts and classifies insects in real time, giving growers actionable data on pest pressure. By replacing manual scouting with continuous digital monitoring, the platform enables farmers to optimize pesticide applications, lower input costs, and protect yields. The company, led by CEO Dr. Leslie Hickle, targets broad row-crop, specialty-crop, and orchard markets where timely pest insights can materially improve profitability. FarmSense was named a 2023 winner of the Radicle Inclusion Challenge, a competition focused on startups owned or operated by under-represented founders in agriculture. As a winner, it secured a $750,000 investment and access to Radicle Growth and Nutrien’s global networks and mentorship. These resources are expected to accelerate commercialization and expand the FlightSensor™ footprint in international markets.
