As the seeding season enters its final stretch, it’s time to look back at how it’s all been going. Let’s start with some numbers and move on to a little behind the scenes.
Seeding progress: A look at the season in numbers
The 2025 seeding season has been solid. FarmDroid robots have performed well, thanks to optimal weather for seeding.
So far, 83% of our robots across 26 countries have already seeded their fields, covering a total of 4,720 hectares. 92% of the seeding has been done as single or portion precision seeding, and the remaining 8% as line seeding. 10% of the fields are sown in a diamond pattern. Who says efficiency can’t also be elegant?
| % of FarmDroid robots seeded so far | 83% |
| Total hectares sown to date | 4,720 ha |
| % of precision seeding (single and portion) | 92% |
| % of line seeding | 8% |
| % of diamond seeding pattern | 10% |
| Average hectares sown to date per FarmDroid FD20 | 12 ha |
The average FarmDroid FD20 robot has so far sown around 12 hectares, with sugar beets and onions leading the crop chart. However, FarmDroid works with many other crops which you can see here.
No farm too far: FarmDroid Care helps farmers remotely
Remote support isn’t exactly the norm in our field. But it’s something we at FarmDroid have committed to, especially during peak season when every hour counts.
During the peak season, our FarmDroid Care team is available 18 hours, 7 days a week, helping farmers troubleshoot from afar, often resolving issues before there’s a need for anyone to travel.
Sometimes it’s a small thing, such as adjusting a corner point or guiding a reset. Sometimes it’s more complex than that, involving collaboration with our distributors or technicians. Either way, the goal is always the same: helping the farmers keep going with as little disruption as possible.
“Boots on the ground” when it counts
Of course, some things are just easier to spot in person. That’s why our Customer Success team regularly visits farms when a call isn’t quite enough. It’s often not about big problems, but about getting the full picture.
Take that time our colleague Christian Stilling visited a farm and realized the problem was simply a moved base station; a detail we all missed over the phone. It’s the kind of thing that sounds silly afterward but can stump you in the moment. Which is why these kinds of visits offer more than fixes; they build understanding, trust, and often a few laughs too.
We’ve also had moments where, while helping one customer, we were able to visit another just an hour later. Call it luck or just a perk of having “boots on the ground”, it’s quick response times like these that show customers we’re not just a logo on a machine. We’re in it with them.
And we hear it too. Farmers often tell us:
“Give my regards to the support team. They’re doing a great job!”
Connecting with our customers, even at a rest stop
Our connection with customers sometimes happens in unexpected places. One of our team members was on a break at a motorway rest area in Germany when someone approached him after spotting the FarmDroid-branded car.
He had just bought a robot and was eager to chat about his enthusiasm with putting it to use very soon. That kind of spontaneous connection reminds us that the relationship doesn’t start and end with a sale. It’s a shared journey.
Listening, learning, and growing
Support isn’t just about solving problems—it’s also how we learn. Feedback from farmers helps us improve both our robot and the way we work.
As one of our team members, Rasmus Thuesen, put it:
“Talking to farmers, getting their feedback, and helping them grow their crops efficiently makes me happy. Seeing their smiles before we say goodbye is my biggest motivation.”
Wrapping up
This season, like every season, has been a shared effort. Our support teams, our partners, and most importantly, our farmers have all contributed to getting the work done.
So thank you for the trust, the feedback, the field coffees, and the occasional rest-stop chat. See you out there again soon.
