Reservoir announced a three-year, $10 million research-and-development partnership with John Deere to accelerate development and commercialization of rugged AI technologies for high-value crop agriculture. Deere is described as a key investor in Reservoir, and the partnership builds on a relationship that began with Reservoir's 2024 founding. Reservoir said the funding will subsidize startup participation in its on-farm technical community and connect engineers and entrepreneurs with growers and farm operations across California, Arizona and other agricultural regions.
