Not only ‘for every acre’ though as the Farm-ng platform also comes in handy when you’re waiting in line for the lunch sponsored by the Western Growers Association.

Burro also proved itself valuable for all sorts of transportation tasks. Whether extra energy by means of a battery or help carrying items from Burro’s booth.
