ARDEN HILLS, MINN. — Land O’Lakes, Inc. has acquired Geosys, a company that provides satellite imaging and insights to agribusiness. The acquisition caps a multi-year relationship between Geosys and Land O’Lakes through its WinField division, which uses Geosys technologies in the United States.

“This acquisition further cements Land O’Lakes’ position as a leader in agribusiness,” said Chris Policinski, president and chief executive officer of Land O’Lakes. “We are developing tomorrow’s agricultural technology today, and this acquisition fits that strategic drive. Today’s purchase demonstrates Land O’Lakes’ leadership in helping to build the farm of the future with cutting-edge concepts and technologies. These industry-leading technologies give farmers the tools to make critical decisions to improve yields while reducing their environmental footprint and further help our member cooperatives to leverage proven tools that turn data into decision enablers that drive productivity and sustainable agricultural practices.”

Geosys, which has more than 50 employees in several countries, has sought a strategic partner for accelerated growth, said Damien Lepoutre, president of Geosys.

“We are excited to align our business with Land O’Lakes because of the cooperative’s outstanding reputation in the industry, their understanding of the critical need for cutting-edge technology in agronomy and our excellent relationship,” said Mr. Lepoutre, who will remain president of Geosys. “We know the combination of Land O’Lakes’ expertise in agriculture and Geosys’ expertise in technology have proven results, and we know this combination will position both companies to continue to be leaders in precision agriculture.”
