Geoff has a profound understanding of all electro/mechanical and robotic/automation systems and the programming and maintenance of such. He has consulted and trained domestically and internationally on laser and robotic manufacturing systems. Bringing a unique skill set to the farming operation, Geoff sees remarkable opportunity in the farming community for the grassroots implementation and support of robotic/automation, remote sensing, and precision farming technologies. In this regard, he would like Strang Farms to take a leadership role in our community and beyond.
