Belfast-based agri-IT firm FarmWizard has secured an investment of an undisclosed amount from the Duke of Westminster’s Wheatsheaf Investments. Founded in 2004, FarmWizard developed the world’s first cloud-based agricultural software solution for online livestock management. The application allows farmers to manage their livestock from anywhere in the world through the internet, allowing for better management of resources in the beef, dairy, and sheep sectors.
Wheatsheaf Investments was founded by the Duke of Westminster’s Grosvenor Estate in 2012, and owns the UK’s largest bull stud. Anthony James of Weahtsheaf states that the acquisition of a 75% stake in FarmWizard aligns with its ‘existing portfolio of businesses’.
With Wheatsheaf’s support, FarmWizard’s innovative software platform, already used by thousands of farmer-customers can expand its ability to help farms produce more food with greater efficiency for a growing population.
