Acquisition Advances Growth Strategy in Autonomous Agriculture

Raven Industries, Inc. (the Company; NASDAQ:RAVN), a leader in agriculture technology, announced today that it has purchased all of the intellectual property (IP) and patents of Jaybridge Robotics, an early developer of automated agriculture technology.
