Kudos to the USDA and Secretary Brooke Rollins for their proactive measures against avian influenza! Their recent announcement to invest up to $100 million in projects focusing on prevention, therapeutics, vaccines, and research demonstrates a strong commitment to supporting our poultry industry and safeguarding public health. This initiative is part of a comprehensive strategy, which includes enhancing biosecurity measures and providing financial relief to affected farmers, aiming to curb the spread of the virus and stabilize egg prices. Such decisive actions are essential in mitigating the impact of avian influenza and ensuring the resilience of our agricultural sector. We applaud the USDA for stepping up with this effort!

Congrats Craig Ganssle & the farmwave team!
Invented some stuff, wrote a book, served my country (USMC) ... just trying to add value.
We're very blessed to be recognized for our efforts in the harvesting space for agriculture. It could not have been done without the efforts of Charles Bassham Chris Chan Adam VanHeusen Hugo Fantucci Matheus and the entire team Lumo Lab. We have so much more work to do in this space and beyond. Thank you to Agri Business Review for the recognition.
