Specialty Crops, Orchards & Vineyards
Almonds, walnuts, citrus, apples, wine grapes, berries — high-value, labor-dependent, water-sensitive.
Where the value sits.
Specialty crops have the highest labor intensity in agriculture and some of the highest water-cost exposure. They're also where AgriTech ROI is steepest — disease detection in a vineyard a week earlier can save an entire block.
JMJ's specialty-crop work focuses on drone scouting, smart irrigation, and AI-driven disease detection in orchards and vineyards where the per-acre value justifies a sophisticated stack.
What this industry actually struggles with.
Labor cost and availability
Water scarcity and regulatory pressure (SGMA in CA)
Disease pressure with high yield-loss exposure
Pesticide regulation and consumer pressure
Block-level decision-making in physically complex terrain
