A Brief History.

The software of Satshot

Twenty years ago...
In 1994, around the same time yield monitors and GPS were first brought into the ag-market, Lanny Faleide envisioned the next 20 years. At the time with over 20 years of farming experience, he, with great help from his family, built software to create variable-rate maps using satellite imagery to help save money on chemical, seed, and fertilizer. This vision started from flying around as a pilot above his fields he farmed and his neighbors in the mid to late 80s but also out of necessity due to the challenging times in farming throughout that period.

From the start to today, Satshot has become a leader in the remote sensing industry and has worked with almost all levels of agriculture from individual farmers to Fortune 500 companies. Satshot, over the last 20 years has had a presence from every continent and all top producing agriculture countries. Currently the company host well over 20 million acres worth field boundaries in its system but even more impressive can access satellite imagery maps from any corner of the world. In a single growing season, Satshot usually acquires billions of acres worth of imagery to distribute and manage to its client’s pixel by pixel.

All this started in a small remodeled grainery turned office on the Faleide family farm south of Maddock, ND. It is still there to this day and represents how technology in agriculture can evolve from the farm directly and into the hands of farmers worldwide with a little ingenuity, vision, and hard work. Satshot understands the needs and wants of the agriculture industry through experience and change. Our partners and colleagues are integral to this and when asked about imagery in agriculture almost all say to this day, talk to Lanny and Satshot.

The Evolution of Satshot

As agriculture evolves so does Satshot. Now a brand of Boundri Inc., the brand and systems of Satshot has continued much like many farms around the world with the founder Lanny Faleide's son Nathan Faleide taking over the helm.

It is now run as Satshot "doing business as" Boundri Inc. which was created by Nathan and continues to be a family owned and run company to usher in new ideas and concepts that can be built off the technology under Satshot, that his father created.

Boundri will continue to run the brand Satshot, but also start to create new tools surrounding mapping, imagery, and other tools for the Agtech industry. Stay tuned for more...
