<p class="break-words white-space-pre-wrap t-black--light text-body-medium">We&rsquo;re on a mission to unlock more productive and sustainable agriculture. Farmers are using Halter to break free from the time-intensive constraints of conventional farming. They&rsquo;re growing more grass, increasing milk production and improving the health and well-being of their cows. We bridge deep tech into real-world farming by enabling farmers to remotely shift, virtually fence and proactively monitor their cows&rsquo; health and behaviour. We&rsquo;re backed to deliver on a mission that matters by Tier 1 investors including DCVC, Blackbird, Promus Ventures, Rocket Lab&rsquo;s Peter Beck and Icehouse ventures. Halter's headquarters are in Auckland, New Zealand.</p>
