Farm consultation
We walk your operation and learn your crops, soil, water, and labor needs.
Ag Resource X LLC · Ogden, Utah
Ag Resource X
Funding, robotics, and soil and water solutions for working farms.
What we do
We help growers get funded, get robot-powered field labor, and build healthier soil and water.
Grant funding for farmers
We find the grants that fit your operation and help you build a complete, competitive application, from USDA NRCS programs to Western SARE and state specialty-crop and soil-health grants.
We handle the paperwork so you can farm.
Robotics labor as a service
We're a robotics labor contractor. We don't make robots and you don't have to buy them. We partner with leading manufacturers, deploy their machines, and deliver robot-powered weeding, mowing, and field work as a service.
Soil and water solutions
Practical, field-tested practices that build soil and stretch water: biochar and compost, soil testing, cover crops and mulching, and irrigation efficiency, often paired with conservation funding to pay for them.
Grant programs we work with
Federal, regional, and state programs that pay for real work on the farm.
| Program | Who it's for | What it can fund |
|---|---|---|
| EQIP USDA NRCS | Farmers and ranchers | Conservation practices such as soil carbon amendment (biochar, compost), high tunnels, irrigation upgrades |
| CSP USDA NRCS | Established operations | Ongoing payments for stewardship |
| Farmer/Rancher grants Western SARE | Producers testing new practices | On-farm research with university partners |
| Professional + Producer Western SARE | Ag professionals working with producers | Applied research and education |
| State grants Utah UDAF, California CDFA | Growers and producers in each state | Specialty-crop, soil-health and climate-resilience projects |
| SCRI and SBIR USDA SCRI, NIFA SBIR | Researchers and small businesses | Research and small-business innovation in agricultural automation |
Every program has its own rules and deadlines. We check eligibility first, so you only apply where you can win.
How it works
Five steps from first visit to results you can show your funders.
02
Find the money
Funding match
We identify the programs you qualify for and the practices or equipment they can pay for.
03
Apply
Application support
We prepare the plan, budget, and paperwork, and coordinate with NRCS field offices, SARE, and university partners.
04
Get to work
Deploy and deliver
We put the practices and robot labor to work in your fields.
05
Show results
Measure and report
Soil tests, yields, and labor savings tracked for you and your funders.
Robotics labor
Robot-powered field labor, without buying a robot.
Why robot labor
Farm labor is scarce and costly. Robots can weed, mow, and handle repetitive field work around the clock with precision.
Who we serve
- Specialty crop and vegetable growers
- Orchards and vineyards
- Golf courses, HOAs, and commercial landscapes
Our model
No capital purchase required. We bring the machines, the operators, and the support.
Soil and water
Build soil, stretch water, and let conservation funding share the cost.
Build soil
- Soil carbon amendment: biochar and compost
- Baseline and follow-up soil testing
- Cover crops
Save water
- Mulching and weed suppression
- Water-efficient irrigation
Many of these practices are eligible for NRCS cost-share.
Who we work with
From beginning farmers to research partners and robot makers.
- Small and beginning farmers
- Established growers and ranchers
- Landscapers, golf courses and HOAs
- Universities and extension, such as Utah State University Extension partners
- Robotics manufacturers
