Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • November 19, 2024 Gro acquisition deepened AI models and public-data analytics.
  • March 4, 2025 remote fertigation control expanded Semios' irrigation automation value proposition.
  • CEO Sumer Johal's 2023 appointment and 2024 'farming made simple' campaign signal product acceleration.

What critics are saying

  • Gro Intelligence failed in 2024 after running out of money, exposing data-platform fragility.
  • Semios still depends on permanent-crop budgets, leaving almond and citrus downturns directly painful.
  • Almanac's acquisition spree raises integration and execution risk before competitors copy features.

What makes The Semios Group unique

  • Semios pairs 500,000+ on-farm sensors with permanent-crop workflows and automation.
  • Almanac combines Semios, Agworld, Altrac, Centricity, and Gro Intelligence assets.
  • WiseConn integration unifies irrigation, fertigation, weather, pest, and plant-stress control.

Almanac Acquires Gro Intelligence Ip To Deliver ‘Actionable Insights Across The Global Agricultural Sector’

Vancouver-based farm data analytics and precision ag firm Almanac has acquired the IP and assets of ag intelligence platform Gro Intelligence, which closed down in late spring after running out of money. Almanac, formerly Semios, has been steadily boosting its core crop management platform through strategic acquisitions in recent years, acquiring farm management software co AgWorld, ag automation software co Altrac, and field data collection tech co Centricity. While Almanac already delivers real-time climate, pest, and water data through a network of over 500,000 sensors collecting real-time private data on weather, soil moisture, insect activity, and disease presence at customers’ farms, Gro Intelligence’s assets and AI models will complement these offerings by overlaying information from public data sets, CEO Sumer Johal told AgFunderNews
