) on August 17th and 19th. The series will bring together farm operation 
leaders at some of the largest specialty crop farms in Australia to share best 
practices with precision technology applications.

"The Australian agricultural community is facing a critical time, and we're 
excited to support it with an accelerated investment in our operations here 
after eight years of operations in Australia," said Ash Madgavkar, founder and 
CEO of Ceres Imaging. "Our solution helps farmers thrive in a challenging 
macro-environment, and our work with Australian growers demonstrates that."

Australian expansion one of many recent milestones

In addition to the new Australia expansion, Ceres Imaging has recently 
celebrated many other important milestones. For example, the company:

    -- Is in its ninth growing season. Its solutions are now being used
       on more than 20% of all irrigated specialty crops in the western
       United States, and Ceres Imaging has nearly doubled its share of
       California specialty crops like grapes and almonds. 
    -- Recently completed a successful Series C funding with investors
       including Romulus Capital, XTX Ventures, B37 Ventures and Insight
       Partners. 
    -- Completed integrations with most brand name in-field sensor
       solutions, including WiseConn, Ranch Systems and Irrometer. 
    -- Released a new study ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3256952-1&h=1315406405&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ceresimaging.net%2Firrigationreport%3Futm_campaign%3DIrrigationReport2021%26utm_medium%3Dpress&a=a+new+study 
)
       of more than 700,000 acres of specialty crops to quantify the
       extent and impact of drip irrigation issues to identify opportunities
       for growers to conserve water, reduce costs, and improve farm yields. 

The company has also released a suite of new products for the coming growing 
season, including: 

    -- Plant Level Insights ( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3256952-1&h=2584005186&u=https%3A%2F%2Fen.prnasia.com%2Freleases%2Fglobal%2Fceres-imaging-adds-plant-level-insights-for-select-crops-in-australia-319511.shtml&a=Plant+Level+Insights 
), 
       which helps growers measure crop stress at a tree or vine level
       across their entire operation so they can reduce uncertainty,
       proactively plan, and improve irrigation performance for
       healthier crops and higher yield. 
    -- Seasonal Trends, which helps growers match their desired yield
       and quality to trends in phenology and water stress curves
       between seasons.

"There are other imagery providers available, but they aren't as detailed or 
high-resolution," said Craig Alm, owner of Yatco Farms in South Australia. 
"With Ceres Imaging, we can direct employees to the correct row -- even down to 
the tree -- to address the issue we find in the imagery."

"After investigating several drone, satellite and aerial imagery options, Ceres 
Imaging was found to provide the best results, at an economical price," said 
Brian Dunn (

), research agronomist at the NSW Government Department of Primary Industries.

"Our technologies help growers improve uniformity and protect crop health," 
added Madgavkar. "We endeavor to support farmers with more than information. We 
help them take action."
