AgTech Start-up, SouthGen, drives efficiency, sustainability, profitability for Alabama growers

Updated: Feb 20, 2023

DOTHAN, ALABAMA— SouthGen Solutions is pleased to announce the launch of their new precision farming operation in Southeast Alabama. The new company, which uses unmanned aerial surveillance technology along with traditional crop monitoring techniques, is increasing efficiency, profitability and sustainability for growers.


"We know that growers are under a lot of pressure these days," said Scott Deavers, Founder of SouthGen, " we're here to help them find new ways of optimizing their operations."


The company's service uses drones equipped with sensors that measure soil quality and fertility levels, as well as other factors like temperature and water content. This information is used to create custom recommendations for each individual grower based on the unique needs of their crops. Our sub-acre monitoring solution means that each individual plant receives exactly what it needs, when it needs it. The result is a higher yield for growers with fewer resources used.


Farming plays an important role in Alabama's economy—according to state officials, agriculture contributes more than $10 billion annually to the state's GDP—but many farmers struggle with rising costs and environmental concerns. By offering services that make farming safer and more profitable, SouthGen hopes to help ensure the sustainability of this vital industry in Alabama.
