Johnston-based Growers Edge, which provides financial technologies for the agriculture industry, has acquired software company Aquaoso Technologies. Aquaoso Technologies operates under the Agcor brand, which provides mapping, data and analytics software for agricultural lenders, according to a news release. Agcor aims to improve the agricultural lending process by integrating loan, collateral, appraisal, sales and other lending data into a single source that lenders can use to evaluate and automate parts of the lending process. Over the last year, Growers Edge has expanded its farmland valuation tool RangeAg to cover over 50% of all federally insured farmland. “The most accurate farmland valuations are backed by the most comprehensive data and realized by streamlined ag lending processes,” said Matt Hansen, CEO of Growers Edge. “As we’ve built out advanced land valuation models at Growers Edge, Agcor has developed close partnerships with agricultural lenders by providing them with the analytical tools they need to build trust-based relationships with borrowers. The combined dataset, analytics engine, and suite of software tools will reshape the landscape of agricultural lending.”
