Flokk has been chosen as one of only 18 finalists, from over 250 international applicants, to particpate in "Selection week" for the Foodtech Tasmania program of Startupbootcamp Australia.
If selected for this intense 3-month accelerator program, Flokk will receive hands-on mentor ship from over 100 industry experts, seed funding, and access to a global and local network of investors with the ultimate goal of scaling Flokk to become an industry-leading company.
Members of the panel discussion "Born in the barn, managed in the cloud. Opportunities digitizing livestock production", taking place Friday, June 3 at Inventures 2022, have been finalized.
Participating are:
Flokk's field testing is the subject of an article in Grainews:
"You can turn it on when you are preg-testing cows, and if you come to an open cow you just hit the cull button on her record when you read her tag, Leask says. Then if the cows get mixed with other animals again later you could run them through an alley and read their tags and it would tell you which ones are the open cows to cull."
Flokk Systems is pleased to announce that Jody Bell has joined Flokk as our Product Evaluation Manager.
Jody grew up on on a farm near Carstairs, Alberta, where she and the Bell family manage 120 cow/calf pairs. Her background includes working on large ranches in Central Alberta and Orroroo, Australia.
Cargill has launched RegenConnect, which links farmers to the emerging carbon marketplace and helps scale the voluntary adoption of regenerative agriculture practices.
This program is directed primarily at grains and oil seed production. But these opportunities will soon be available for livestock producers, and Flokk will be the easiest to implement and use solution to collect the accurate, detailed, and audit-able data required to enable these programs.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is moving forward with the adoption of RFID ear tags as the official ear tag for use in interstate movement of cattle.
This will result in US cow/calf producers soon facing the same dilemma that Canadian producers have today; the necessity to acquire and apply RFID tags to their stock, but no affordable and suitable tool available to realize value from these tags to their own operation.
Flokk systems Inc. is pleased to announce that it has secured a founding investment.
The private investor has extensive experience in Agricultural financing and operations, and brings a wealth of experience that will be invaluable to Flokk as we advance the product to market.
