FarmRaise Announces Partnership with Avalo to Power AI-Driven Cotton Innovation at Scale

FarmRaise today announced a partnership with Avalo, Inc., an emerging leader in AI-driven crop development, to support the execution and scaling of its cotton innovation program.

As agricultural programs become increasingly data-intensive, many organizations face a common bottleneck: translating field-level activity into structured, usable data without increasing operational burden. This partnership reflects a new approach where program design, execution, and measurement are connected from the outset.

Avalo takes a "Farmer First" stance to Ag innovation, with the goal of creating efficiencies that drive value at the beginning of supply chain, rather than just the end.  Their cotton initiative focuses on improving grower yields and resilience through advanced seed development and data-informed agronomic practices. By working directly with producers in real-world conditions, Avalo continuously refines its models using field-level feedback and performance data.

FarmRaise provides the infrastructure that enables this work to operate at scale.

Through its platform, FarmRaise supports:

• Structured field-level data capture across distributed operations
• Streamlined grower workflows that reduce administrative burden
• Real-time visibility into program performance and outcomes
• Standardized data systems that translate field activity into usable insights

This allows Avalo to focus on crop innovation and model development while ensuring the data generated in the field is consistent, auditable, and immediately actionable.

“Avalo represents a new wave of agricultural innovation where AI, agronomy, and real-world field data come together to drive measurable outcomes,” said Jayce Hafner, CEO of FarmRaise. “Our role is to make that model operational by enabling teams to run complex programs without adding friction for growers or staff.”

“We are excited to partner with FarmRaise for our Grower Program Administration, making it easier and more straightforward for our farmers to enroll while streamlining our data collection processes and reporting. For a small team like ours, this is high impact; it allows us to stay focused on the relationship with each of our growers, and not their paperwork,” said Rebecca White, Chief Product Officer of Avalo.
