Raven Builds Canadian Headquarters in Saskatchewan

Nov 11, 2020

Raven Industries Applied Technology Headquarters will be located in Regina and dedicated to assembling, manufacturing and testing the Dot Power Platforms.

Raven's Autonomy Executive Director, Wade Robey says Canada has proved to be a critical region for Raven for over 25 years.

"This new location will allow us to expedite product development, as well as provide outstanding service and support to our customers and partners.”

The site at Emerald Park opens later this month and includes a 21,000 sq ft building for production and five acres for testing.

The new facility will be the central location for precision and autonomous agriculture innovation, training and service.

Robey says In the past 11 months, Raven Autonomy™ has grown in technology and partnerships.

"Through Dot, we have a long-standing relationship with the Canadian agriculture market and have seen interest in autonomous machinery that is unmatched."

Raven completed its acquisition of DOT Technology Corp., the Saskatchewan-based developer of the Dot® Power Platform, in June of 2020.

In addition to opening the facility near Regina, Raven is partnering with Economic Development Regina Inc. as a part of the Investment Partnership Program (IPP).

Through this program, Raven will provide resources to EDR’s Agriculture and Food Initiative to support Saskatchewan collaboration for agriculture throughout Western Canada.

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
