How it all started

Farmers Helping Farmers

Mike Jacob

Founded in 2024 by Michial J. Jacob, P.E., a farmer turned engineer and entrepreneur, TerraForce solves labor challenges for farmers by enhancing efficiency and profitability. Our cutting-edge technology, which includes advancements in AI, image processing and recognition, and robotics set the standard in operationally efficient specialty crop production.
