BOPA Precision Agriculture

BOPA Precision Agriculture, also known as Barn Owl Precision Agriculture, develops autonomous technology solutions designed to support small and midsize farmers. The company's primary product is the Autonomous Nano-Tractor (ANT), a lightweight, fully autonomous robot engineered to perform tasks such as weeding, spraying, planting, and harvesting. By automating these routine operations, BOPA aims to help farmers increase efficiency, reduce labor costs, and implement soil health practices without the need for large capital investments. The system is delivered through a membership-based model that includes equipment leasing, software, training, and ongoing support.

This technology is intended to help farmers navigate the challenges of an evolving agricultural industry by reducing physical labor and dependence on chemicals. BOPA, which originated from a family farming background, positions itself as a partner to the farming community, focusing on sustainability and the preservation of farming traditions. Based in La Junta, Colorado, and founded in 2017, the company provides farmers with customized plans tailored to their specific crop needs and acreage. Their approach has been recognized with industry honors, such as the 2024 Ag Innovation award from the Farm Bureau.
