About
Leaf is a San Francisco-based data infrastructure company that helps food and agriculture companies connect and analyze their farm data, including machinery output, soil samples, weather, imagery, and farm management data 12. Founded in 2021, the company processes data from over 20% of the global acres annually and counts Bayer, BASF, Growmark, and Syngenta among its customers 12. CEO G. Bailey Stockdale describes the wedge as: “Farm data is really valuable, but it’s also nearly impossible to work with” given the hundreds of proprietary file formats produced by agricultural hardware 2.
Leaf recently rebuilt its platform using a data lake model to enable faster queries and AI-friendly analysis 2.
