You're In Business

FarmSimple Solutions Ltd. is a verified, legitimate AgTech company based in Saskatchewan, operating since 2018. Their product, 'Herd Hand', offers significant real-world utility for livestock water monitoring, supported by industry awards (Ag in Motion Innovation Award) and partnerships (AgriDigital). However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing demonstrably false claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience reach 'everyone') and vague data. While the project is real and useful, the submission's lack of credibility and the niche nature of the market result in a low overall score compared to the calibration benchmarks.
