## About

Based in North Carolina, US, and founded in 2018, GroundTruth Ag Inc., trading under the name EarthOptics, provides a cloud-based machine learning platform for soil and ground management. The company was founded by Lars Dyrud who also founded three companies including OmniEarth. In September 2021, the company raised its latest Series A funding led by Leaps by Bayer.

The company offers Soil Insight Technology including GroundOwl™, TillMapper™, and C-Mapper™. Its Soil compaction sensor, machine learning, and ground-penetrating radar mounted on an all-terrain vehicle allow for mapping of 1000 acres a day. The technology also provides savings, long-term value, and access to new revenue streams through carbon credits and incentive programs.

The company plans to use its 2021 Series A funding to further growth and expansion across more farmland of its patent-pending soil mapping and machine learning technologies.
