About
About BOTONY
BOTONY uses fleets of small autonomous robots that travel between crop rows and perform repeatable field operations without the weight and compaction of conventional agricultural machinery. Machine vision identifies crop rows and weeds, while interchangeable implements let the same chassis perform cutting, cover-crop work and other soil-management tasks.
Fleet software assigns field areas, supervises several robots and records completed operations. Greenfield’s initial commercial service focuses on non-chemical weed control, using mechanical cutting to suppress weeds without broadcast herbicide or intensive tillage. Greenfield operates BOTONY as a contracted service combining robot fleets and agronomic planning, so growers do not maintain the machines independently.

Timeline
- Greenfield Robotics closes $3.7 million Regulation Crowdfunding round
2026-02-13 - Funding - Greenfield completed a Regulation Crowdfunding raise of roughly $3.7 million to scale its autonomous chemical-free weeding robots. The offering materials cite strategic support from Chipotle, Innovative Livestock Services, and Mid Kansas Cooperative. The raise gives Greenfield a real 2026 financing event even though it comes through crowdfunding rather than a traditional venture round.

2025-12-31 - Production Milestone - At 31 December 2025, Greenfield had contracted Amity Technology to manufacture BOTONY agricultural robots. Greenfield had $453,266 of prepaid manufacturing deposits applied to production for the 2026 growing season. The filing identifies Amity as Greenfield's sole contract manufacturer and flags the lack of a qualified alternative as a concentration risk.

2025-01-01 - Deployment - Greenfield's site highlights commercial crop output from robot-weeded sweet corn that shipped to Whole Foods. The reference is useful as evidence of real farm deployment and market-facing produce flow rather than a closed test environment. This is best treated as trial-stage or early commercial deployment because the public evidence is outcome-based but not tied to a fully detailed rollout announcement.

2025-01-01 - Product Launch - Greenfield Robotics publicly positioned BOTONY as an end-to-end autonomous robotic farming system. The system is built around chemical-free weed control and autonomous field operations. BOTONY adds a named product layer to Greenfield's autonomous agriculture and regenerative farming positioning.
