FarmRaise partners with Avalo on AI-driven cotton innovation

The collaboration links crop-development intelligence with field execution and data infrastructure to scale cotton innovation more efficiently.

United States: FarmRaise announced on 7 April 2026 a partnership with Avalo to support the execution and scaling of an AI-driven cotton innovation program. The significance of this deal lies in its operating model: Avalo focuses on crop development and agronomic improvement, while FarmRaise provides the structured field-level data capture, grower workflows and performance visibility needed to scale the program commercially. In practical terms, the partnership aims to reduce the long-standing gap between innovation design and field execution. As agricultural programs become more data-intensive, companies increasingly need reliable systems that can turn on-farm activity into auditable, usable information without adding friction for growers. This partnership addresses that commercial bottleneck directly. 

“Avalo represents a new wave of agricultural innovation where AI, agronomy, and real-world field data come together to drive measurable outcomes,” said Jayce Hafner, CEO of FarmRaise. “Our role is to make that model operational by enabling teams to run complex programs without adding friction for growers or staff.”

“We are excited to partner with FarmRaise for our Grower Program Administration, making it easier and more straightforward for our farmers to enroll while streamlining our data collection processes and reporting. For a small team like ours, this is high impact; it allows us to stay focused on the relationship with each of our growers, and not their paperwork,” said Rebecca White, Chief Product Officer of Avalo.
